C.P is officially banned in India.But it is still being practised in some private schools,especially managed by Christian Missionaries,where six of the best is the maxim.By and large Hindu population of India believe in non violence. Even, the term spanking meaning striking on the buttocks by open palm or flat object as punishment,especially children is not common in India.Even at homes.kids are often struk anywhere on their antomy,not necessacerily on bottom,which in the West is done ceremoniously otk or asking the guilty to bend.I presume that the practice of caning/spanking children was brought to the East by Britishers.I am aware that caning is extensively used in schools in Malaysia and Singapore,I am interested to know whether spanking of children at schools is common?
Spanking at home is very rare in the UK now. Not illegal, just very rare.
