We all know that the Constitution of India has conferred equal rights on women and men. We are also aware of the fact that discrimination on the grounds of gender is prohibited by the Constitution. For the last 175 years, several laws have been passed to liberate women from the clutches of customers and practices which have been oppressing them for centuries. Women constitute nearly half of India's populations. So, unless an environment is created in which women are able to enjoy all their rights and live without fears on restriction, India cannot progress. Human history is full of examples of women who have taken leadership positions and guided the destinies of their nations.
