How have you guys interpreted "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world."? Motherhood and nurturing the child or women empowerment in general?

@vish_rat2116865 That makes sense too. Don't know how generous UPSC is with the interpretations.

I interpreted it as, 'mothers model/guide the next generation', but didn't attempt it, as that conventional interpretation has a misogynist angle to it😅

I've not emphasised that much on the modeling/guiding part and took a broader interpretation of 'rules the world'. Feel like missed the main demand of the topic.

Yes I saw it in Mrunal's PYQs
