'Girls in North India asked to stay home, give birth': DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran sparks row | Chennai News
DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran sparked debate on Tuesday by contrasting girls’ education in Tamil Nadu with northern states. Speaking at Quaid-E-Millath Government College for Women, he said that in northern states, girls are often expected to stay at home and do household work, while Tamil Nadu encourages girls to study and pursue careers. \"It's Tamil Nadu, the best state in India, and MK Stalin is the best chief minister among Indian states. This is a Dravidian model government, and it was our Periyar who ignited Dravidianism in our state. He emphasised that girls should study, and our CM is working based on his principles,\" Maran said.
