Bihar: Siwan college bars girls & boys from sitting together

A college in Bihar has issued an order prohibiting male and female students from sitting together or exchanging playful remarks. The order was apparently prompted by a fight between two girls over a boy. Women’s rights activists have criticised the order, arguing that it infringes on students’ freedom. College authorities claim that the order is aimed at maintaining discipline and regular class attendance. The controversy highlights the ongoing debate over institutional rules and individual freedoms in educational settings.
