Indian cricketers Shikhar Dhawan and Robin Uthappa have reacted stringly to a viral video that has been doing the rounds on social media. The video shows a child trying to count the numbers and beng beaten for any mistake she commits. Both the cricketers have asked the parents to be patient with the kids while maintaining that each kid learns at their own pace.

The fact that the pain and anger of the child is ignored and ones own ego to make the child learn is so massive that compassion has totally gone out of the window. This is shocking and saddening to another dimension. A child can never learn if intimidated. This is hurtful.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli, too, shared the video on his Instagram account and wrote: "“The fact that the pain and anger of the child is ignored and ones own ego to make the child learn is so massive that compassion has totally gone out of the window. This is shocking and saddening to another dimension. A child can never learn if intimidated. This is hurtful.”

I request parents to be patient with ur kids at all times. Every child learns at his own pace. Pls refrain from beating/degrading them. ðð pic.twitter.com/jy8xV8gC9M

Taking to Twitter, Dhawan said: "I request parents to be patient with ur kids at all times. Every child learns at his own pace. Pls refrain from beating/degrading them".

This is heart wrenching. Children shouldn't be raised this way. This needs to stop. I pray we can raise our kids with love instead of fear. pic.twitter.com/6R4mKrFy4r

On the other hand, Uthappa tweeted: "This is heart wrenching. Children shouldn't be raised this way. This needs to stop. I pray we can raise our kids with love instead of fear".

Absolutely disgraceful and disturbing behaviour by this parent you need to give your child love and compassion to get the best out of them! Unacceptable”.
