In the male dominating society, a woman is getting exploited everywhere in the world. In India women have been exploited from many years in almost all the societies, regions, cultures and religious communities. A woman is discriminated in every stage of her life starting from the womb and continuing till death. She faces different forms of harassment like rape, kidnapping and abduction, dowry-related crimes, molestation, sexual harassment, eve-teasing etc. Exploitation to women is clearly visible in the history of ancient India which is still getting practiced without any positive change. Women in India were enjoying a quite comfortable position in the Vedic Era. However, the condition got declined gradually because of the long run supremacy of male over female. They became restricted to live their normal lifestyle like healthy diet, wishful dress, marriage, etc. It was huge effort of male dominated country to make women limited and obedient. They started being enslaved and prostituted. Women in India started being used as commodities for the men to perform different functions of daily routine. With the increasing level of exploitation women started losing their educational, social, political, economic and cultural opportunities in the society.
