A viral video of kindergarten teachers singing “Aaha Tamatar” has sparked a debate about appropriate content for early childhood education.

The catchy children's song Aaha Tamatar Bada Majedar has become a viral sensation and is often used as the background song for various social media posts. However, the song's popularity took a surprising turn when a video surfaced of kindergarten teachers practicing it during a training session. This sparked major backlash online, with many criticizing the song's use in education.

Dr. Nitin Sshakya, whose Instagram profile states that he is a doctor and bureaucrat working for the government, shared the video. “Kindergarten teachers receive excellent training,” he posted with a clapping emoji.

However, the post sparked a wave of negative comments accusing the training session of trivializing education and being a “real tamasha” (drama).

Social media is angry:

One person wrote: “Real Tamasha. It's not just about education.” Another, who claimed to have the same profession, added: “I'm also a kindergarten teacher and I teach better than them.”

This person said: “How embarrassing.” A fourth said: “It's better to learn phonics or other important topics for the future.”

However, some defended the teachers, adding that they also had to take “special rhyme courses.” Another quipped: “I have a lot of respect for teachers.” The video also sparked a discussion about the salaries of those who work in the profession.

The Hindi nursery rhyme Aaha Tamatar Bada Majedar gained unexpected popularity on social media as users started creatively incorporating the sound into their posts. A turning point came when a user shared an edited video of K-pop group BTS dancing to the catchy tune, sparking a broader trend.
