Growing up male in Madhya Pradesh in the 1960s

In Madhya Pradesh in the 1960s. boys and girls went to separate schools. The girls’ school was designed very differently from the boys ‘school. They had a central courtyard where they played in total seclusion and safety from the outside world. The boys’ school had no such courtyard. Every evening, once school was over, the boys watched as hundreds or school girls crowded the narrow streets. For the girls, the street was simply a place to get straight home. The girls always went in group, perhaps because they also carried fears of being teased or attacked.
