“Emancipation of Women: A Comparative Study of Imam Khomeini and Mahatma Gandhi”

In this today's modern world when the world came to be known as global village, the emancipation and empowerment of women has become the most significant factor of concern, but in practicality, yet, the women has not given his real status and honor in the society. Still, we are observing in our society in day to day life that how the women are exploited and misused harshly, with different social evils like as dowry, early marriage slavery, caste system etc. Both the great leaders Imam Khomeini and Mahatma Gandhi has highlighted the role and status of women in modern times. Both the leaders stressed that the development of women is only possible with education of women at any cost and after that they will get proper place in political, economic and social fields. Without education and proper guidance they would not be able to maintain their self-respect and status in the society. Both the leaders recommended the same. Both believed in the equality of men and women. Gandhi wanted economic and political freedom of women to become self-dependent and to stand on their own feet. Both the leaders inspired their nations to take solid and concrete steps about the education of women that will bring them out of clutches of these age old customs and rituals. Imam Khomeini wanted crunches to be opened near the workshops and educational institutions of women. Gandhiji wanted to build a society based on justice, peace and equality among all.
