Swami Rambhadracharya’s remark on ‘25 children and triple talaq’ sparks fresh controversy
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Rambhadracharya has once again said something that has created a ruckus. This time Swami Rambhadracharya has given a statement about Muslim women and Islam. Along with this, he has also given a statement about the education of children in convent schools.
While talking about women's freedom and education during the Ram Katha being held at Victoria Park in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, Swami Rambhadracharya said that women are in a miserable condition in Islam. In Islam, every Muslim woman gives birth to 25 children and then is abandoned by giving three divorces. Hinduism is the only religion where women are considered goddesses. Whereas in other religions they are called baby or wife. In Hinduism, women are the form of 'Devi Maa' and mother is given a higher status than the father. Swami Rambhadracharya said that women are in a miserable condition in Islam. This is not seen anywhere else. Giving birth to 25 children from every woman and then abandoning them when they grow old by giving three divorces. Things like 'use and throw' are seen. He claimed that this is not the case in Hindu tradition and here mother is given a higher status than the father.
Swami Rambhadracharya said that by producing more children, a person goes to hell. There should be 2 to 3 children. Whether they are three daughters or sons, make the children cultured. Speaking on the education of children, Swami said that parents should not send their children to convent or madrasa, but should educate them in Saraswati Vidyalaya to connect them with cultural ideals.
This is not the first time that Swami Rambhadracharya's statement has come in the headlines. Just two days ago, he had appealed to Hindus to be vocal, calling western Uttar Pradesh a 'mini Pakistan'. Swami Rambhadracharya had said that today Hindus are facing a lot of problems. Hinduism is not getting enough justice in its own country. Coming to western Uttar Pradesh, it seems as if it is a mini Pakistan. Now we have to be vocal, we will not let this happen, no matter what happens. Therefore, now a school of Hinduism will have to be built in every house. Every parent will have to teach Hinduism to their children. Sanatan Dharma is the only religion where it is said that Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. We consider the whole Vasudhaiva as a family. There is a lot of controversy over his statement. Former Samajwadi Party MP Dr. ST Hasan has strongly criticized his statement. He called it an insult not only to Muslims but to the entire western Uttar Pradesh.
