INTRODUCTION
Women in India have always been topics of concern since ancient times. They
can be the appropriate example of perfect home-makers. With their incomparable
quality of the calmness of mind they easily handle even toughest situation as well.
The Indian women are completely devoted to their families. They are preached in
the names of Goddess Durga, Goddess Saraswati, Parvati and Goddess Kali.
From an unknown period in Medieval India to the modern times the condition of
women is still the same with a little change. In India, the families are always
`Patriarchal. Women were never given any rights of liberty and equality. The
condition of women was so bad that if she gave birth to a girl child she was treated
in a humiliated manner. Women were not only abstained from being educated but
also were not permitted to step out of the house. They were asked to eat after
their husbands have eaten and in fact were given to eat the leftovers of their
husband`s meal.
Now day’s time has changed, not in cities only but in villages also. The women are
being educated and are given respect and high position in societies. In many places
woman has created their own land mark by showing un- bitable performers in life
and profession. They have balanced their personal life as well as their professional
life. Some families are still introvert and keep woman under their foot. But many
women now are able to convince their families with help of good examples in
society and neighborhood

WHAT I THINK ABOUT
“THE POSITION OF WOMEN IN INDIA”
In today‟s time when we hear about “the position of women in India,” the
first thing that comes in our mind as student in Delhi University is that,
women enjoy „lades first‟ in many please and find them weak and help less
without our govt.
At the time admission in college I found that in Delhi there are more
fanciless for women as they have women‟s couch in metro & seats in buses,
special help line form police & many NGO working for women upliftment
form many cases like education, sex selected abortion, dowry, eve teasing
and many other things. It seems as women in India cannot do anything
without help.
One day on station waiting for train, I purchased a copy of INDIA TODAY
the action heroes, after reading that I got a chance and bought youth special
of INDIA TODAY. That made me understands that women in India are not
weak and can make their own benchmark in world with their „Addiction‟ to
show their tent, ability, courage, strength to show other women new path,
way of living in deferent places and showing them to live on their own. Not
to ask for help for mans to be protected by man.
Well after making this project my view point has changed that they are able
to do all tasks and This are just a sample of woman in Indian to lead are
future.
“IM NOT A PRINCESS, I'M NOT A QUEEN.
I CAN HANDLE THINGS ON MY OWN.”
Says today‟s women
