The Story in Brief
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister's cultural advisor Shriram Tiwari has said Lord Krishna was the world's greatest Gen Z figure, having achieved remarkable feats at age 12. The remark comes amid a political row over the state government's new Bhagwan Shri Krishna Medhavi Chhatravritti Yojana, a merit scholarship scheme named after the Hindu deity. India TV News quotes Tiwari's comments as defending the scheme's cultural significance. Opponents have criticised the government for mixing religion with education policy.
The Indian Opinion
The debate mixes two things that should stay separate. The MP government has every right to launch a merit scholarship named after a cultural icon: many states do the same. But dressing it up by calling a mythological figure Gen Z invites mockery, not respect. The public should ask one clear question: does the scholarship use the same objective marks and income criteria as existing schemes, or does it introduce religious preference by the back door? The scheme’s fine print will settle that.
