Exploring the Status and Empowerment of Women in Post-Independence India

Abstract

The fundamental objective of many strategies and policies was to promote the progress ofwomen. Encouragement to pursue higher education and finish it, as well as encouragement to look for andaccept employment, are some of the most crucial ways that women may be encouraged to become moreindependent. Despite the execution of the laws and programmes, there are still certain rural communitiesthat believe women should be in the male's place. The country as a whole is plagued by the abuse andmistreatment of women and girls. However, as a consequence of industrialization and globalization,women now have more opportunities for promotion. Most often, women in urban regions raise their levelof life by pursuing higher education and landing well-paying employment. One of the main subjectsdiscussed in this research study is the status of women in post-independence India, as well as theirempowerment, gender problems in post-independence India, their political participation, and thedifficulties they face as working women.
