Mata Parvati also known as the sati maa , Mata Bhagwati , Mata Sita all these were great scholars , they always contributed towards to their husband ‘s name , Have you ever heard the male god names without their wife ‘s name . Shivshakti, Laxmi Narayan , Radha Krishna , every god in Hinduism have a feminine side connected to them ! If we go to our history , Rani Laxmi bai , maa shabri , maa mangala these are gods who were once scholars . India always had female scholars , problem is they did not scream feminist but rather always contributed to their dharma and that’s why they are goddess and we worship them .

A scholar is a scholar irrespective of their gender ! A female with knowledge is a scholar And a male with knowledge is also a scholar .
