India Is A Country Where Great Sagas And Thinkers Like Vivekanand

According to Hinduism the female was created by Brahman as part of the duality in creation, to provide company to men and facilitate procreation, progeny and continuation of family linage. The Vedas suggest that a woman’s primary duty is to help her husband in performing obligatory duties and enable him to continue his family tradition. Her primary duty is to give birth to his children and take care of them. Hinduism is a predominantly male dominated religion. Woman play a secondary role. The situation is gradually changing. It is difficult to draw generalizations about the status of present day Hindu women because of society is complex. In general, life in cities is much different from life in the rural areas. Those who live abroad live in different conditions than those who live in the country. Yet, we have ample indications that women are still subject to many restrictions and disabilities in rural area as well as urban areas. The financial independence of woman and the education levels of the family play an important role in this regard. Women in urban areas face numerous challenges in their professions and personal lives. But overall, life is better for them compared to the past. Love marriage outside of the caste or community are scorned and sometimes the couples are killed or excommunicated by the elders in the family or village. Widows can now have a life of their own and even remarry. They draw a lot of sympathy. But

Constantly, people hear rape crimes, sexual abuse, and the inequality between women and men on a everyday bases. Not only is this situation happening intensely in the United States, it becomes even more fierce in third-world countries such as India. Controversies surrounding women’s image and status should be resolved locally and internationally. It is not something that is completely irrelevant to us, it could happen to anyone, you, your friends, and even your family members. So, when people are talking misconceptions about the image of women, or giving funny comments about a serious issue that is relating to women, please stand up and defend for women’s rights. Any defensive action might have a chance of saving a life, strengthening women’s rights, and protecting their dignity. Women should not be told of what to wear, how to act, and when to play; men should be told not to

Women rights movement’s dates back to the nineteenth century as the female gender was seeking to have a place in the society where they have their rights and entitlement fairly given to them. It was instigated by the fact that the male population by making them feel as less beings in the society. This is because they were not entitled to having their views brought out. However, in the 1970’s efforts to secure equal rights for women by eradicating gender discrimination put by institution, laws and various behavioural pattern meet serious activism (Barrett. 2014). The reforms enjoyed currently concerning women empowerment is as a result of all the atrocities that they went through at this time. It is, therefore, evident to say that the challenges faced by women in the 1970’s rights movement gave birth to new opportunities such as coming up with severe laws on gender discrimination, pushed for the Title IX law and defining rape as a crime.

In a critical analysis, India has been subjected and thrown into the fire as many continue to thrive this uphill battle of inequality and gender relation issues. Although inequality is a largely debatable issue, especially when convoluted

Women are married young, become mothers quickly, and are burdened by stringent domestic and financial responsibilities. Like in Greece, they have little chance to progress in the work force. Females, in certain regions of India, are frequently malnourished since they are the last member of the household to eat typically and the last to receive medical attention. Also, only “54 percent of Indian women are literate as compared to 76 percent of men” (Gender Equity Issues in India). Unlike in Greece, women of lower status still receive little schooling, and suffer from “unfair and biased inheritance and divorce laws” (Gender Equity Issues in India).

In today’s society, women impact the world around them in many different and significant ways. Some women influence their communities with great force while others never notice their true importance in their societies. In India, Mishri Yadav is bound to her life as a modest, confined woman who cannot talk to men and must remain in the shadows. In the United States, Michele Noonan is bound to her life as a caretaker for her family who can express herself in whichever way she feels. These two defined people show the importance of how women are viewed extremely different as their countries vary. Some women, such as those in India, are viewed as lower than men with less value, knowledge, and potential. These places do not believe that women contain

Throughout the ages, women have been looked down upon. Women are seen as “the fairer sex”, weaker than men, and less capable. This belief even persists to this day and women still make less to every dollar a man makes for doing the same thing. The “Glass Ceiling” is a great example of how this still applies today. And the British repressed the Indian’s culture and way of life. They became second-class within their own country and did not enjoy the same rights and privileges as the British people occupying India. Racism, the “Glass Ceiling”, and the Indian’s cultural oppression are all examples of social oppression. It doesn’t matter if there were laws that either banned or legalized these practices, even if those laws were or were not there

discriminated often times. This paper aims at educating and encouraging every woman to become powerful and inspire others by their lives.

India, is one of the world’s most dangerous countries to be a woman. It is there they face many crimes and mistreatment against them, such as rape and arranged marriages. Many of the cases against women go unnoticed and are usually not looked at properly. This is due to the corruption in the government in which they are doing nothing to help the people. Indian women activists have created the group Gulabi Gang to cause change into the government, into society and to change it, they need morals and the merit system to do so.

Since the time of partition India has become a country for men. There’s no doubt in that women are being respected in any of the way they should be. They have been and still are treated as a medium of men's personal reasons. Men are always considered to be tough and unemotional whereas the other side, women are considered soft and full of emotions. There’s a saying that what we see is not the truth always. women are the toughest being on the earth because they give birth to new life and since the time women are being disrespected they feel so unfortunate to give birth to a man because of quite obvious

The world has entered into a new millennium, but from the dawn of civilization till date, the woman of the patriarchal society of India continues to be oppressed and ill-treated. She is dependent, weak, exploited and faces gender discrimination in every sphere of life. The gender-based violence that threatens the well-being, dignity and rights of women, extends across social, cultural, economic and regional boundaries. The equality of women and men is a facet of human reality and not just a condition to be achieved for the common good. That which makes human being human—their inherent dignity and nobility—is neither male nor female. Discrimination at workplace is possibly the commonest form of harassment that most office goer has suffered at least once in their professional life.

We can see the reservation from the emergence ratification of the Convention. The ratification was women can be able to work towards the goal gender elimination. But, although there is ratification, still there is resistance from the reserving state to exempt to having comply part of the document. The resistance comes from varied nature based on religious law and customary practices.

Feminism in India is a set of movements which defining, establishing and defending equal political, economic and social rights and equal opportunities for Indian women. Feminist criticism was not inaugurated until late in the 1960s.Behind it, however lie two centuries of struggle for the recognition of women’s cultural roles and achievements and for women’s social and political rights marked by such books as Mary Wollstone Craft’s A Vindication Of The Rights Of Women (1792), John Stuart Mill’s The Subjection Of Women (1869), and the American Margaret Fuller’s Women in The Nineteenth Century

Sexism in the modern Indian society is a result of centuries of acceptance and ignorance. Particularly in this society Sexism takes its roots from mythology and ancient tales of the kings and the queens. The two of the most powerful mythological tales of all time, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, aid in the heightened levels of sexism.

India, a nation which had Mahatma Gandhi as its role model of uprightness became so remarkably violent and corrupt that the women can no longer be safe within their bodies. Mahatma Gandhi who defeated the Britishers to save the Indians by relying on non-violence is considered as the father of the nation, but his sense of honor are being deceived so easily that a woman is raped every twenty minutes in India [1] In the world’s largest democracy and even children of five years are subjected to rape [2]. Women in contemporary Indian society are really leading if we compare them from the ancient time. Women are the congenital part of our society and cannot be cast aside due to their less power and authority. The basic section of society is a woman. As woman makes a family, a family makes a home and homes make a society. So we should never think that a society would come into continuance without the contribution of women. But with the development in the society as women is becoming empowered , Indeed there are few categories of crime that affect the community and their victims as much as rape, sexual assaults, and the other sex related crimes. The impacts of sexual assault and rape crimes can be easily seen in the very way we live our lives and raise our family because it has a great affect on our
