"You know if this was done 300 years ago then people would be calling it as guru bhakti, it is sad to see how things changed...
In a bizarre video posted by the Hindustan Times,a teacher can be seen sleeping calmly on her chair while her students sit quietly on the classroom floor and one of the students fans her.
Reportedly, the video emerged from a school in Bihar, India.
While the video gives viewers a good laugh, some social media users thought about other possible reasons behind the incident.
An angry user said: "If she has done it intentionally, then remove her from the school."
"Terminate her within a minute," chimed in another.
"She's teaching her students to serve teachers... How disciplined the student is that she's fanning her..." another remarked sarcastically.
A more sympathetic user made a thought-provoking comment saying, "If she has a health issue, then excuse her."
"I will say that it is not complete fault of a teacher..No electricity, zero infrastructure then how u say desh badal raha hai..." wrote another.
A user even said that 300 years ago this would be appreciated and considered an act of respect and service.
He said: "U know if this was done 300 years ago then people would be calling it as gurubhakti ,it is sad to see how same things changed over the time."
