Elephants in battle

A war elephant was a military elephant that had been trained and guided by humans. The main purpose of the war elephant was to assault the enemy, break their ranks, and terrorise and terrify them. Elephantry refers to military formations that use elephants to transport troops. [1] In antiquity, war elephants played a crucial role in a number of significant wars, particularly in Ancient India. While they were only used on a limited and irregular basis in ancient China, they were a permanent staple in the armies of historical Southeast Asian kingdoms. They were also used in ancient Persia and the Mediterranean globe by Macedonian troops, Hellenistic Greek nations, the Roman Republic and later Empire, and Carthage in North Africa during classical antiquity.

The opposition staged a walkout in response to a CBSE exam question that was "blatantly misogynist."

During Zero Hour, Sonia Gandhi spoke out against the "blatantly misogynist" passage and demanded an apology from the government.

New Delhi: Congress President Sonia Gandhi led the Opposition charge in Parliament today over a section in a Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) question paper for Class 10 students that has been criticised for its sexist overtones.

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and National Conference, led by the Congress, staged a walkout in the Lok Sabha over the issue.

During the Zero Hour, Mrs Gandhi highlighted the subject, criticising the inclusion of the "blatantly sexist" passage and seeking an apology from the Narendra Modi government.

"The chapter is littered with such repulsive concepts, and the questions that follow are similarly ridiculous. Sir, I join the concerns of kids, parents, teachers, and educationists, and I strongly disagree to such plainly misogynist content being included in a CBSE examination. It reflects poorly on educational and testing standards, and it violates all conventions and principles of a progressive and empowered society "Mrs Gandhi expressed her thoughts.

She demanded that the offensive question be removed immediately and that an investigation into what caused the "gravest lapse" be ordered.

Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, moved to Twitter to criticise the administration over the bill's passage. Such actions are "classic RSS-BJP ploys to ruin the morale and future of the youth," he said, calling them "downright repulsive."
