You will hear them sing paeans, if they ever attend a school+Univ** in India. ** a state-aided public school examination to be precise, where marks(grades) will be deducted for writing an extra sentence not found in the guide books, or for not having taken private tution from the teacher, and expect a cipher if you thought you could do math differently.
