Indian Laws are bonkers and any government servants and pervasive powers. Here is my favorite Indian Law. Right to Education Law (Indeed who does not want Education and Baby Pandas as rights ?) Features: 1. The law is applicable only to Hindu run schools. Aided or Unaided. The law has blanket exemption to any school run by a Christian or Muslim. (Aided or Unaided). 2. All private schools even those who do not take a penny from government must keep 25% of their seats reserved to the "needy". Needy is defined by government and the list is defined by government. This is often a function of caste and bribes offered to government to get your kid's name on the right list. 3. Government will decide all the admission criteria as and when it pleases for these private schools. So if you want to start a school that will cater only to say "IQ > 140" that is illegal Or a school that would focus on children with great artistic ability that is illegal. 4. All private schools must meet various criteria such as "X area per child" else they will have to shut down. 5. It is a criminal offense to run a school that is not approved by this law. Coming up with a dark and horrible regulation would only reduce school supply. Secondly, applying it only to "Hindu" run schools is like handicapping a the majority community in one particular sector. All this when Indian's private education was expanding rapidly, performing better than government's free education and was actually targeting more and more poor people than ever.
