A woman is a woman, but we have tried to define her in terms of relationship and use this emotion to serve the patriarchy. Her status as a woman is overshadowed by her identity as a mother, sister, wife, or daughter. Constitutionally, we may be a democracy, but that democratic spirit has not actually crept into our social life, which remains socially oppressive and culturally cruel. Our forefathers did what they could by providing us with a secular and progressive constitution, but very few of them thought that the key to the success of a model constitution lay elsewhere. In our social fabric that remains compartmentalized and completely regimented and where our morality differs from one another. It is essential, therefore, that moral values explode from a secular and liberal perspective and not to conquer those voices of freedom. The situation in India is alarming. Economic independence has exposed women to sexual exploitation in offices and other workplaces. They have become a salable commodity in advertisements. The job of a hostess is only that of a waitress or housekeeper. There is lack of education for women as the elders are convinced that women have to get married and leave one day and according to most people in the society even in urban areas they are of the opinion that girl is a burden and a weight. one day she will have to leave, so why spend money on her to study. Emancipation does not mean freedom to do what you want. It is movement to receive self-respect and dignity. A woman gains respect by being honest and tied to tradition to some extent. Ever since learning and education became formal and institutionalized, the men ahead have demanded control over entire areas of knowledge: philosophy, law, literature, science...... middle of paper ..... .the company.8. Ancient practices like sati, Jauhar, Devadasis are still in practice in most parts of rural India where they consider it a ritual and perform the said rituals. Even if it has been abolished, rural populations do not consider it illegal and it is the girl who pays the price.9. In my opinion this must stop and people should be educated about the harms of all these practices and people should be punished severely if they promote these kind of ancient practices to please the gods.10. Finally there should be legal and constitutional controls and girls and women (even working women) should be aware of their legal and social rights as most of them don't know them and that's why they can't raise their voice against mistreatment. reserved for them in rural and urban areas, as well as in domestic and professional life.
