Introduction:-
In a country where woman are worshipped as 'deities' having supreme powers, there does not seem to have been a perceptible changes in the status in of women, even after more than sixty years of independence. Through there are evidences of women enjoying a high status in the society in the Vedic times, gradually down the ages, they come to be treated as second-class citizens, with almost no rights, no education and no role the background in maledominated society.
Our civilization, our customs, our laws, have all made by men and he was taken good care of keep himself in a superior position to treat women as the chattel and a play-thing to by exploded for his own advantages and amusement. Under this continuous presser women has been unable to grow and dew has capacities to her fullest. Women were expected to work at home and this was considered to be the most essential work for the substance of life to her generation. Even women accepted home work as their fate and as their life. This work did not fetch them any status expects some reference of respect and gratitude. Hence, all along the history of humanity, they were considered as backward, without 'mind' or 'soul'.
In most of civilization men taken every advantage of the usually sup strength of her biological superiority. With the passage of time various sociologists and scholars recognise women's rights and advocated higher education for the women themselves started demanding that they should no longer be treated as cloth to be alternately patched and ignored but should be considered as human being with minds to be cultivated, bodies to be exercised, natural apparition to recognised and satisfied. Now the techno social changes, the economic needs, the constitutional provisions of various others factors help women not only to accept gainful employment but also to enter it to occupation and profession previously monopolized by man.
In the today modern world the spread of education made the women to get more knowledge, more thinking power. After independence our constitution made the provision under Act 15(1), 16(1) that shall not discriminate against citizen on ground of religion, race, caste, sex, place or birth or any of them. Now women's role is not just limited to home but it is extended outside the home also. From the earlier 'savitri image' Indian society has now accepted the working women image. A wife is a person who binds the four walls of a house to make it a home. She is an Ardhangini which just not only mean half of husband's body but a soul mate. She shares his responsibility despair and happiness. A working wife not only adds the income but also shoulders the responsibility, with the husband to provide the family a better life. She relieves the psychological tensions of our husband. Every person in the world has problems and troubles but he react differently. One person reacts in an easy way and tries to find out the solution of the problem while other tries to escape the problem or fell rejected.
