Chennai : Tamil Nadu Industries Minister TRB Rajaa sparked controversy by comparing societal attitudes toward women in Tamil Nadu and North India. TRB Rajaa said, There is a difference between being a woman in Tamil Nadu and in any other state in India. 100 years ago, Indian women were not even considered humans. The situation remains unchanged in North India.
In North India, when we meet a woman, the first question is, where does your husband work? In Tamil Nadu, the question asked of a woman is, where do you work? Rajaa’s comments were supported by DMK senior leader TKS Elangovan, who added, Women in North India are often confined to being housewives because of religious practices. The remarks drew sharp criticism from political leaders. BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla wrote on X, “Once again, DMK crosses the line, insulting UP, Bihar, and North India.
Congress said Bihar is beedi, Revanth Reddy abused DNA of Bihar, then DMK statements that people of Bihar clean toilets, and now this insult of Bihari and UP women. Why is Tejaswi Yadav silent? he wrote. This is not the first time a north vs south debate came up in Tamil Naud. Addressing a public gathering in March, Murugan said, One man marries one woman in our culture. But in North India, one woman can marry five or 10 men. Also, five men can marry one woman. This is their culture. If one goes, another will come.
