When will SP (sarpanch-pati) culture end in India? | UPSC Current Affairs 2025

Shocking but true! Recently, in Chhattisgarh’s Kabirdham, husbands of six newly elected women panches allegedly took the oath instead of their wives.
This isn't new. In states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Haryana, many women sarpanches are "proxy leaders"—their husbands run the show!
Despite 43% Women Representatives in Panchayati Raj (thanks to the 73rd Amendment), real leadership is missing!
Remember, the famous web series called Panchayat, where Manju Devi was the Sarpanch of Phulera village, but her husband Brijbhushan Dubey used to handle the work.
So, what's the solution? Share your thoughts in the comment section!
