The short answer is that there are two sides to this issue.  Indian women have a glorious history as religious, cultural, literary, political and warrior stars in India. Some worship her as "Devi" or divine.\n\nSimultaneously, it is is easy to find suppression, exploitation and degradation of women. The practice of Dowry is an example. India will be truly free when all Indian women have the same importance and opportunities as men.\n\ncc

It is most shameful and unacceptable to find difference between male and female in India,despite being a democratic and being on the footage of being an advance country in all direction.We follow the steps of many western and other countries and copy them in matching male with female but to no avail.We are in 21st century and education,good social values and other moral values are spreading like a fire in every nook and corner of the country.The rural areas are fast approaching their urban counterparts in learning and learning good for the family and society and working shoulder to shoulder of male partner.You can dind women in every profession-including defence,civil services,banks.spaced technology,teachers,trainers,good administrators,fine managers,good mothers and house wives and even looking after their old age parents or younger sisters and brothers better than their male counterparts in the society.Tell me where they are not.They are competing with the male in each and every field including flying fighting planes and commercial planes.\n\nHow can we forget great women like Sarojini Naidu,Indira Gandhi a few to mention.these are not stray cases.We have women controlling big industries worth billions and billions of rupees.They are the best entertainers to their male counterparts.They are devoted,faithful,loving,caring,wise and above all soft at heart.\n\nI do not see why a difference is still being mainained by even educated males.It is not unfortunate but it is most shocking and a serious problem of the Indian society even after 60 years of independence.Many women also participated in the freedom fighting against the Britishers before 1947.\n\nThe difference if any is only due to the evil brain of the male who on one side feels the better being and more educated and more responsible.But I feel this is not the real man who represents the male but only falsehood,which is not only creating confusion but also problems for self and others.\n\nIt is really high time that the real male wakes up from his deep slumber of domination and recognises the true counterpart the female without whom he is incomplete in all the spheres.It is the time that empowered the women with full heart and support and made them feel a strong person as male in any nook and corner of the Indian sub-continent and in any field and help them to come up with sincerity and honesty.\n\nThe 30% reservation to be introduced in the Parliament is all an eyewash and without any meaning as the politicians sitting there have not political will to do any justice to the woman in India.I can only advise these people to make officially 50% reservation for women in each and every field.\n\nIt is high time,let us all get together and make the Indian soil worth living ever happily with a smiling and a happy woman and stop all stupid desires of having only a male child.Every female is not only good but better than the male.Let this message also go the rural India to wake up unless it is too late.Let us change our thinking be good and reasonable atleast to start with.

The role of women has not changed.\n\nthe rights of women have changed.\n\nit all started with the suffragets and also women in new zealand getting the right to vote in the early 20th century, followed by australia then gradually most of the world.\n\nBut what really increased women's rights was world war 2. There were very few men left in the countries involved during the war and after the war in countries such as Germany, there were very few able bodied men at all. Most were killed or crippled. This meant woman had to perform domestic duties and staff the factories.\n\nBut the role of women has not really changed, they are still predominately the child raisers, and still perform most domestic duties, they just don't get abused as much if they choose to work.\n\nVery similar to black rights, they have the right to vote and are free. But whites are still cross the road to avoid them and still think of them as "niggers" even if they don't say it.\n\nGenetically we are all pretty much the same, I personally don't believe in race and i don't judge people by their sex. If we all become this way and accept that it is best to look at your own faults than every one else's, we may get some where better

Hi I feel some times dowry is necessary in customized countries like India.Unlike in Western countires where both M/F work togeather, here it is still a male who makes the earnings. So for a male a new lady entering their family will always be a burden on his earning resourses.\nI think this might be one of the reasons.

"yasya pujyate naree, tasya ramante devatah"\n                                                -Ramayana.\n\nTranslation:  Gods chose to live where women are worshipped.\n\nIn India, women occupied a very important position, in fact a superior position to, men. It is a culture whose only words for strength and power are feminine -"Shakti'' means "power'' and "strength.'' All male power comes from the feminine. \n\nDuring Puja or religious ceremonies a wife gets precedent and sits at the right side. A husband can not perform a yagya or any major Puja without his wife.\n\nLegaly they get equal right of inheritence . They have full right over their own Womans'edowment and if a husband spends his wife's money in case of emergency, Ancient laws order him to return it with interest .

On each level theres an argument that inequality is higher depending on gender. Depending on what you are trying to analyze there will be some differences but as a general rule women will be confronted with higher amounts of inequality in each dimension than their male counterparts. In the job market women will be paid less, and have a tougher time advancing in their field across the board when looking at the dimensions of inequality. The same could be assumed along lines of prestige as most societies still have some form of male domination or patirachy even if its receding. \n\nFor most levels of analysis women will find more inequality by comparison to males across the board when looking at different dimensions of inequality

He's about the 500th Indian looking for a woman on here, what he should be doing instead is being a little more pro-active in WHY women are so hard to come by in his country. Two long-term epidemic problems in India, female infanticide and dowry killing, have made the male-female ratio extremely skewed in the age 19 to 30 crowd. By killing their little girls, unborn baby girls, and young women, they have made their bed and now must sleep in it...alone.

As others have answered, women were involved in some of the early years of sociology but they were the exception rather than the rule. Its easier to understand in the context that women were not given access to the same education as men were in the time period along with many other social aspects of life. As women were denied entrance into many different strata of public life, it makes sense that they would be unable to analyse or comment on it, which is the scope of most of sociology.

i think the woman are the heroes in some movies. without them there would be no solution sometimes. it is their love that gives strenght to the men to fight. atleast that is what happens in Indian movies.

yes it was created for man to do men things. Women fit in to help men understand building, cooking, rearing , organizing, war, and love.\n\nNo society can prevail without women\n\nLook at a strong man, behind every strong man you will find a strong woman
