In the undated video, a government school teacher is seen in a classroom teaching the varnamala, or Hindi alphabet. Rather than simply going over the letters, he appears to have composed a song that demonstrates how each letter is pronounced and what words are spelled with it. For each of the words, he sings a special line that the students repeat. “What a wonderful way to teach. Great Guruji.” reads the clip caption.
