Abstract

India, a land of rich tradition and culture has confronted with an age long plight and struggle for her freedom and surely has come over a long way since 1947. A lot has changed yet but as it's said that there's always a room for improvement, however still a lot more needs to be modified and transformed. So in my research paper, I'll delve in to the factors that are responsible for this unchanged change and this is all about a down trodden section of our society which we all know as women. The news pertaining sexual abuse, domestic violence, less number of women representatives in all the arenas of our society so on and so forth has compelled me to conduct a research on the ‘How emancipation of women is hindered even after a long span of time of our independence’. Though we come across literature on women's pathetic condition in abundance in books and internet yet out of the blue several tales of women's progress also keep astounding us all. From GDP of India to the internet connectivity even in the remotes, from advent of MNCs to increasing employability; everything has got a drastic augmentation. All this show that we're in a win-win situation but despite having changed so much how still we're grappling with the issues related to women and their existence? My research is a primary work.
