Essay on condition of women in India

After the independence of India, the condition of women has improved significantly. Women are now getting equal rights as men. Women can now freely do all the work they previously felt unable to do. In the constitution of India after independence, women have been given all the benefits, rights, freedom to work which only men used to enjoy. In spite of bad treatment with them over the years, women today are constantly working to make their family, society and the future of the country brighter by finding themselves free from social shackles.

Today, women are offering their services in different fields such as social, political, economic, education, science and other departments in the form of daughter, mother, sister, wife. She is also carrying out her professional life as well as family responsibilities. Despite all this in improving the condition of women, we get to hear news related to their mental and physical harassment somewhere.
