During a public appearance in Bhopal, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan highlighted the viral 'Ek Kachori, Do Samosa' slogan on social media and asked why daughters feel compelled to write it.
Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, addressing a gathering in Bhopal, referred to the trending social‑media slogan "Ek Kachori, Do Samosa" that has been circulating online in recent weeks. He noted that the phrase has been widely reproduced on walls, banners and digital platforms by school‑going girls across the state.
The slogan, which juxtaposes a popular snack with a demand for equal treatment, has been interpreted by many as a symbolic protest against perceived gender bias in educational institutions. While the exact origins of the chant remain unclear, it has sparked extensive discussion on various social networks.
Chauhan asked the audience why young women feel the need to resort to such slogans, suggesting that the issue should be addressed through dialogue rather than public displays. He called for a constructive approach to resolve concerns related to gender equity in schools.
No official response from the education department or the students' representatives was recorded at the time of reporting, and the minister’s remarks are expected to generate further debate in the coming days.
