Kerala Schools Practice ‘No Backbenchers’ Seating Inspired By Movie; Internet Asks ‘Chhupke Samosa Kaise Khayenge?’



Inspired by Vinesh Viswanath’s 2024 directorial debut, Sthanarthi Sreekuttan’s climax, several schools across the state of Kerala, are adopting a new seating arrangement that makes backbencher association redundant. The new arrangement is a U or a semi-circular seating with the teacher addressing the middle of the class. This enables the teacher to focus on all students at once with no pupil lurking behind the backbenches, either creating a nuisance or missing out on lessons.

Meanwhile, Vinesh shared a few glimpses of a school from Palakkad practicing the ‘no backbench’ seating inspired by his movie. He stated that this was the fifth school in the state that he got to know that had changed the benching system.

Reactions varied on social media but were largely welcoming. Industrialist Harsh Goenka jibed, “Thank goodness I didn’t go to school in Kerala—they’ve abolished backbenchers! That was my permanent seat. Where would I have hidden my quick nap, my doodles, my secret samosa?” Another quipped, “Big blow for students who eat tiffin on the last bench.”

A third user wrote in jest, “But how will they manage to eat from a tiffin box in the middle of the classroom? They’ll probably miss core memories to remember later.” Basically, “ab chhup ke samosa kaise khayenge?”

One user reminded netizens of the former president and the missile man of India’s quote, “The best brains of the nation may be found on the last benches of the classroom—APJ Abdul Kalam.”

Another account suggested, “This is what they are trying to do without the budget. This will make the use of a blackboard difficult. The most suitable way of seating is a semicircle where everyone looks straight at the board; also, the seats ascend as one moves back.”

Meanwhile, there’s always one guy bickering (or maybe more)
