'The mindset that keeps women caged must change' In this public meeting, Rahul Gandhi said that the attitude with which women have been controlled and restrained is from the ancient patriarchal system. Calling this ideology 'Manusmriti', he said that he is battling this mentality of suppressing women. He stated that women cannot be defined only by the definition of daughter, wife, mother; women have their own independent identity and their own dreams.

A woman cannot be identified on the basis of any man.

They asked the students to believe in themselves and stand firm in their rights with strength and self-reliance.

He said that a large number of women had to leave education and their jobs under pressure from their families.

For women to be economically self-reliant, equal rights and education and employment are necessary, according to Rahul Gandhi.

He said that the country can progress only when women too get an equal environment. 'Only defining women as wife, daughter and mother is not our ideology' Rahul Gandhi pointed out that we confine women by the description of daughter, wife and mother. He said nothing is wrong with any of these definitions; a woman can still have millions of own dreams and visions and for that we want freedom for them to move forward and voice her respect.

Message to students 'Break the cages': In the end, Rahul Gandhi asked all students to avoid living in any atmosphere of fear, to free themselves from Patriarchy and social bondage, to move forward with self-reliance and raise their voices for their rights. According to him, a woman's freedom is not just a woman's issue; it is connected to the country's progress. Our country will prosper only when women move forward on equal rights, said Rahul Gandhi.
