A critical position of Indian women

India is the country where people give respect to women in scriptures but in reality it is opposite to it. Women don't have any right in decision making, even decision about themselves; they are just like a puppet in the patriarchal society. Women are prohibited to take part in domestic as well as in external matter. They are just under the influence of family before marriage, and after marriage they are under the command of their husbands. And this phenomenon is prevalent all over India except metropolitan cities in some cases. Today we have a plethora of laws related to women and their development, but still they have the same position. And this in not only limited to status but also to security. Every day we watch in T.V and read in newspapers more than 5 cases related to Gang Rape, Dowry, Rape, Murder, Sexual Harassment, or other type of torture. So the question arises what is the rationale behind the laws related to women if we can't protect them. In this paper I tried to discuss all the problems of women with viable solutions so that women can live with dignity in the society.
