Earlier, a controversy had arisen regarding the 10th class English question paper of the CBSE. Some sections of the question paper have been accused of allegedly promoting 'gender stereotypes' and supporting 'regressive perceptions'. Due to this, the board had sent the matter to subject experts.

In the class 10th examination question paper, objections were raised about the use of sentences like 'Women's emancipation ended the right of parents over children' and 'A mother can get respect from her younger ones only by accepting the manner of her husband'.

The question paper has become viral on social media. Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also tweeted objecting to the question paper, "The BJP government supports these regressive views on women, otherwise why would they be included in the CBSE syllabus?"
