Its ok if the local government is trying to regularise this practice of baptism being the core criterion for getting an admission . But what baffles me is that someone who was educated In a convent and got confidence to Communicate , now mocking the practices followed by these schools. Never mind if you dont want to follow the anymore but dont mock the system where you got your education.
