A video of nursery school teachers dancing to the Hindi children’s rhyme “Aaha Tamatar Bade Mazedar,” which has gained popularity as a social media meme template, has sparked mixed reactions online.
The video, now widely circulated, was shared by Instagram user Nitin Sshakya and features several teachers dressed in sarees rehearsing dance moves to the viral rhyme during a training session. The post, captioned “Nursery teachers getting excellent training,” along with a clapping emoji, was initially intended as light-hearted content. However, it has since drawn significant criticism.
Instead of generating the usual amusement associated with such viral trends, the video has angered many social media users. The comments section quickly filled with divided opinions. One critic remarked, “Real tamasha. It’s not all about education,” while another claimed, “I am also a nursery teacher and I teach better than them.”
On the other hand, some viewers defended the teachers, stressing the value of nursery rhymes in early education and recalling their own fond memories of learning through songs. These supporters emphasised the importance of keeping education engaging for young children.
Meanwhile, “Aaha Tamatar Bade Mazedar” has become a sensation on social media, with users creating a variety of innovative videos set to its catchy tune. Despite the backlash, the rhyme continues to be widely embraced in online content.
