KVT recenlty hosted its "fancy dress competition" with many of the students taking on the personas of famous people. Mahatma Ghandi and the Statue of Liberty were in attendance, to name a few.In true Indian style (this is part of a larger discussion that I plan on addressing a bit later on on December, but in general Indian students and by default their teachers and parents are insanely focused on their "marks" or grades. 
This competitive academic culture (for example, students are often listed in order of class rank) sometimes reaches levels that seem too extreme from a western perspective) students were graded and ranked on what would otherwise seem like a light-hearted event.
