Khan Sirs rise, his reckoning
,” says educator Faizal Khan.The incident that Khan described in his characteristic wry style, in a video shot four years ago, is from 2019, when crude bombs were allegedly hurled into his classroom in Patna. While there are few details about what prompted the incident, Khan did not let the 2019 summer attack end his teaching career. If anything, it became part of his story — an outsider who challenged entrenched interests and carved out a space in Bihar’s crowded coaching market as the wildly popular “Khan Sir”.In the video, Khan said that while neighbouring establishments closed their shutters and people fled after the 2019 ‘bomb attack’, students urged him not to give up. “Sir, koi baat nahi. Aap kholiye, hum log padhenge. Kitna bhi bomb chale (Sir, it’s okay. You keep going, we’ll study, no matter how many bombs go off).”
