A city school concluded its annual sports with an “Arise India” call as students dressed in traditional Indian attire danced. A Class XI student of the school lived up to the school’s message with a gesture of her own. The Park English School authorities said the song-and-dance ritual was named Arise India because sending out a message of plurality to the young had become more necessary than ever. The principal of the school, Francis Gomes, said schools have always tried to teach their students “unity in diversity” but the belief in that diversity is being tested. Gomes and his team were proud that their message had been “well taken”.
