Bihar Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari has stirred controversy after questioning the importance of girls' education during a public event. His comments, which implied that daughters should not engage in public protests, have gone viral, leading to widespread criticism on social media. Tiwari stated, “Zaroorat kya hai education ki? Humare ghar ki betiyan humari shakti hain,” suggesting that girls' roles are primarily within the household. Critics condemned his remarks as outdated, arguing that every child, regardless of gender, has a right to education as per Article 21A of the Constitution of India. Some users defended Tiwari, claiming that his statements were misinterpreted and taken out of context. However, the backlash highlights ongoing concerns regarding women's education and rights in Bihar, where literacy rates are already low. The incident has reignited discussions about the role of political leaders in shaping societal attitudes toward gender equality, with many calling for more informed electoral choices to prevent such regressive views from gaining traction.
