Also on the page was an article contesting the rumors that the children of the Indian school were forcibly taken from their parents, reassuring readers that the parents were eager to send their children. There was also a metaphor on how the Indian children are like bees collecting education ‘nectar’ to bring back to their ‘hive’ agencies for the benefit of their families at home.
