Comment on Should we respect all of our techers ? But why ?

Generally, no. I wouldn’t give respect to anyone who mistreats me and would probably report it to a higher authority through my parents. But because this issue differs across cultures, it’s not that easy to defend yourself against it sometimes. In Japan or India hierarchy between different generations is seen as something more important than in Europe for example, so they might put blame rather on pupils than teachers no matter what. In Europe, teachers would be fired immediately if they behaved as you describe. So it really depends on your circumstances and if your parents support you in your cause.
I would try to find a fine line between what your culture expects of you and your personal moral compass. Otherwise people might not side with you and you will just have a tough life. So be clever in how you approach it. Also if other students feel similar it might be clever if you all tell your parents to connect each other to do sth against it. If hierarchy is an issue they have more power to do sth against it.

In India, from my prespective students have zero value. They don’t take our reports seriously.

I’m not surprised you’re from there. In Germany people often talk about how pupils are still hit by teachers in India, often followed by a debate whether this is sth we can judge from a German perspective.
My grandpa was also hit by his teachers in the 50s and my parents seldomly. But I never experienced it. Abuse is rather psychological nowadays I would say. More subversive.
