Here are my thoughts on the last para (#1-#3):

#1. Yes, you can find an alternative school in India. They are too few and may not be where you need them.

#2. This is a moot point. Arguing with school authorities is a waste of time. Better focus your energies elsewhere (#3- if you can).

At least one school (Greenwood International School, Bangalore) we visited recently, proudly told us, “We believe in discipline! We will leave you shouting at the gate if you visit us without appointment. And if the kid has long hair, his head will be shaved after 3-warning.”

We came out of the school gate laughing. The fifth grader, who attended the same meeting, said, “My jaw fell to the ground, when I heard this. Papa, you will save money on the barber.”

At least 7-8-schools we visited since, we had good entertainment for sure!

#3. Well, you have to look at the practicality of your situation. Not that there is much choice (either way).
