sir,
the conditions of the Indian women in the society were worse far years ago.some may debate it by saying that the conditions are all right now.it is true that the conditions are getting right but it is restricted only upto the society,as far as governance is considered,it shows the same scenario.after Independance we have seen a lady as a president almost after more than 60 long years.
talking of the local governance at the grass root level ,the women which are capable of doing something are not represented and the women which are represented are not capable of doing anything.this is mainly due to our male dominated society.the situation of the Indian women is same as it was before,the introduction of reservation only put curtains over it. a paradigm shift is needed so as to improve condition of the Indian women.
