child marriage is indian culture. Sex education is not.

Excerpts from an article in TOI:

[]
The Committee on Petitions headed by the BJP’s Venkaiah Naidu is a cross-party group up of nine Rajya Sabha members. The Committee has said there should be no sex education in schools because it promotes promiscuity and India’s “social and cultural ethos are such that sex education has absolutely no place in it.”

Child marriage means huge numbers of adolescent Indians indulge in “legal” sexual activity. Mehra says politicians have long promoted regressive policy on the pretext of culture.

If you teach someone the use of AK-47, he can very well kill hundreds of people in the streets. Still, you will not send your soldier on the war front without teaching them the use of AK-47, will you?? (unless you really hate the soldier).

Who will explain to these politicians that sex education DOES NOT TEACH YOU TO HAVE SEX AND BE PROMISCUOUS.

The same culture which forces girls to become pregnant at the age of 14, denies them information about what they are getting into. What sort of a culture is this? Messed up and regressive I would say.The reason why i stopped listening to the culture bullshit some years ago.
