CBSE Book Defines Modern Girl As Selfish And One Who Imitates Boys. Gets Trolled Badly On Twitter
Ever since the inception of humanity, humans have always grown and modernized. There is nothing wrong with being modern. It just means you have adapted yourself to the changes times. However, the way the word “modern” has been stereotyped today, it had never happened earlier. The way people especially women are criticised today for being modern is disgusting as well as hilarious.
An essay about the “Modern Girl” from a CBSE book has been doing rounds on the social media. The way it defines the “Modern Girl” will make you feel disgusted and ask yourself, “Are they serious?”
The essay written by Purabi Chakraborty, M.A. (English ) defines the “Modern Girl” as self-centred and the one who loves to imitate boys. A part of the essay reads as-
She loves to wear jeans, pants and hot pants. The colourful sarees have no place in a will girl’s stock of garments. The modem girl sees films, TV pmgrammes and tries to copy the hairstyle, dressstyle and mannerism of the actors. She loves the latest cuts and designs and runs after the new, showy,eye-catching dresses
It also says-
The modern girl is no longer shy, obedient and homely creature as she used to be… She claims for her rights as she wants to enjoy life like the boys. She is more a self-centered creature than a loving daughter or sympathetic sister.

What a disgusting definition of modern girl! Students should unlearn this if already they have learned from the book. pic.twitter.com/MONJdSFbkh

What concerns me more is that this is an essay guide for 10th/12th std. Even 5th graders have better structure in their essays!

Seems Mr Chakraborty was cozy beneath a rock all this while. His 'definition' will be of immense help in the evolution of chimps now.

Don’t you think people really need to open up their brains and let it get some oxygen for a while?
