The Kafirs taste their sweet revenge in the court The teachers wished her a happy Diwali (Could that be a Hindu conspiracy?). She wondered why she is greeted since she is of a higher descent and retorted that she is not a kafir (infidel); they got mad and reported her to the head honcho of the school. The top banana sacked her. She went to court. The judge threw the case out. The judge, in his order observed: "According to me, such a behaviour on part of a teacher, who was on probation, can never be tolerated by anyone." He observed that the petitioner, as a teacher, had no right to use the words with which she intended to condemn the majority community by calling them 'kafirs.' The judge reiterated that India is a secular country and there is no place for words like 'jehad' and 'kafir.' "The Islamic management of the respondent school has rightly adhered to the principles of secularism by throwing out a teacher like the petitioner who tried to spread religious hatred and ill-feelings amongst the teachers and the students," the judge observed. The judge, however, suggested that the teacher could be reinstated without back wages provided she was continued on probation for one year if she tendered unconditional apology.
