Answer 1

"Status of women in INDIA"

In the past, women were treated as mere slaves. As they belong to the weaker sex, men used to keep them under thumb. They were denied freedom. They were kept like dumb cattle within the four walls of the house. Indeed, they had no rights. Their most sacred duty was to obey blindly. Though the conditions in the country are fast changing, yet women are still treated, in some respects, in the same old way. No one feels happy in the home at the birth of a female child. Even an only daughter is supposed to be a curse for the family. She is regarded as a decree of lakhs of rupees on the parents. Further, as a wife, she has always to obey her husband. “Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die.” was the motto for them. Even educated and modernized husbands want to see their wives confined within the four walls. The noble professions of the outside world are considered to be of no concern to them. Their husbands, they may be good or bad, are their lords and gods. Those changes are beneficial which come gradually. Our country is changing politically, economically and socially, at a swift speed. The condition of women is also gradually changing. They have begun to take their due place in free India as is evident from the following facts. In free India, women cannot be kept as sheer domestic servants. They have to play their vital role in the development of the country. That is why more and more girls are getting education. No distinction is now made in matters of education between boys and girls. Education is bound to give them place of honour in society. It is for the first time in the history of our country that women have been given equal voting right with men. It clearly means that women will now take an active part in outside affairs also. Their voice will now be as forceful and important as that of men. No politician of leader can now afford to neglect, or oppose their rights.

Answer 2

India has a population of approx. 60 million older women (60+). Traditionally, in India women have had a respectable place among almost all communities, but contemporary ground realities vary from this fact. In many Indian communities women are treated as second class citizens. They have been lagging behind in almost all walks of life for centuries. They have never been financially independent. Due to less social interaction they even don't know about their rights and powers. Older women lead a marginalized life and many of them live a neglected and miserable life. Even human rights of older women are at stake today.
