‘No Talking To Girls’, Desis Discuss Bizarre School Rules They Were Made To Follow

After desi women discussed ‘unfair’ rules and harassment they faced during their school days, there were many other odd rules that still fail to make sense to me. One of them was the way some of the fancy, colorful books were kept locked in the shelves of the library, and how we were never allowed to read or issue them. The same went for the instruments locked up in the music room!
