In the video, a group of young girls from a school in Dhemaji, Assam, perform an energetic dance to the song "Aaj Ki Raat" starring Tamannaah Bhatia from the film Stree 2.

The performance was on the occasion of Teachers' Day on September 5th.

While their performance is full of enthusiasm and they clearly enjoy themselves, the video has raised significant concerns about the appropriateness of such performances for their age.

How did people react?

The video with the caption, "I have so many questions," has sparked a wave of reactions in the comments.

Some users have questioned the school's decision to allow such a performance, with one comment asking, "Why school license is not cancelled?" and another lamenting that "parents should be sent for counselling."

There are also calls for stricter laws to hold both parents and school authorities accountable for such decisions.

Others have linked this incident to a broader trend, noting, "It's no surprise that a generation obsessed with social media is fixated on creating viral content and garnering cheap publicity to monetize their online fame."

The need for a robust child protection system in the country is also emphasised, with a user stating, "We urgently need a very strict child protection cell¡ªit's high time."
