Abstract

The status of women in India has been subjected to many great changes over the past few decades.Women have been progressed,educated and employed by reforms and upliftment which brought a radical change in the society but without touching the roots of the problems that women have been fighting with. Women's rights under the constitution mainly include equality, dignity, and freedom from discrimination; additionally, India has various statutes governing the rights of women. However, women in India continue to face numerous problems such as sexual assault, gender inequality and dowry.The status of women in India is like the eco system of the earth, losing its actual shape and qualities and taking a new change imbalanced and unwanted leading to a smaller problem to a bigger one.
