Decoding gender discrimination in Indian patriarchal society

India is considered to be a very religious and culturally a rich and diversified country. However, gender biasness and discrimination is an issue leading to destruction. For the betterment of the country, it is very important to treat both the sexes equally. There is a need to advance the social role of women. There are two basic beliefs. First, men and women are treated as two different kinds i.e. discriminated, and second, this discrimination is wrong and should be overturned. To solve this problem, it is necessary to know the root cause. One of the most contributing factor is that our society is based on ‘patriarchy’. A patriarchal society is where men dominate women which often leads to the exploitation of women. Women are being discriminated because of socially generated differences rather than biologically constructed differences. Gender is a political construction based on stereotyped feminine and masculine characteristics of women and men. Hence, we must look forward to remove the social and gender inequalities, injustices, and take steps to overcome this problems which pose a big threat to the existence of a peaceful society.
