I like that the same page shows a video of an "illegal school" being torn down by the government. Is this a joke? Like, what kind of dastardly evil people are

  Schools are a money making business like everything else. Illegal school means they didnt follow rules and regulations.

  Not a joke. Your concepts of building codes and property ownership are western. There's no such thing in India. Rather, there's a patchwork of policies that contradict each other and no consistent sense of which one has precedence. And land ownership is complicated by qualifications over who can sell it and claims from family members who maybe had a descendent there hundreds of years ago. And of course, various policies benefitting squatters. And whoever could forge the ownership papers nicely enough to claim it's theirs. These things are all features and not bugs. It gives pathways for the government to dispose of any buildings that are annoying it for whatever reason. They find the law on the books that allows them to bulldoze the school the quickest, have the tractors out there within hours, and complete the process before any lawyer can get through the patchwork of laws to stop it. > Like, what kind of dastardly evil people are constructing schools without permits in a country desperate trying to feed and education the large population? Don't blame whomever built the school, they were trying to help! Blame the ones who tore it down.
