Send 'child goddess' to school: AP Commission

Hyderabad, June 16 : The Andhra Pradesh State Human Rights Commission has ordered that Sambavi, an eight-year-old girl hailed as a child goddess and a devotee of the Dalai Lama in her previous incarnation, should go to school.

Justice B.Subhasan Reddy,chairman of the Commission, directed the collector of Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh to get her admitted in school if her parents failed to do so, media reports said on Wednesday. Sambhavi is almost worshipped as a god in Kurnool as "she can foretell the future". People are flocking to visit this "child goddess".Sambhavi's parents are, however, upset with the direction and are planning to move court against the direction.The state human rights commission earlier banned a reality TV show involving children in Andhra Pradesh.
