A video from a school cultural programme in West Bengal has gone viral on social media, igniting a wave of discussion and controversy. The clip, allegedly filmed at Jeeban Jyoti Model School in Kolkata, shows a group of girls performing a dance routine with towels wrapped around them on stage.
The short video captures the students dancing to music while a banner behind the stage clearly displays the school’s name. Several children can also be seen seated in the audience, watching the performance unfold.
Once uploaded, the clip spread rapidly across social media platforms, drawing strong reactions from users. While some defended the performance as a creative expression within a cultural programme, others criticized it as inappropriate for a school setting.
The incident has sparked a broader debate about the boundaries of artistic freedom in educational institutions, the role of schools in monitoring performances, and the influence of viral content in shaping public opinion.
