Such absolute rot. We had carolling and hymn classes. Compulsory. One classmate got whacked on the head with a hard bound book of hymns when she sounded off-tune. So, sit down.
This is the cringe only Indians can generate. If you are not a Hindu you must now sing praises of Hindu gods. I went to a Catholic school in India. Not once did they ask me to visit the church or do anything Christian.
