Abstract


From the boardroom to the sports field, Indian women are making a mark in traditionally male-dominated areas and redefining their roles in society. This study considers the gender difference that exists among each region, class and prevents the expansion of Indian economy from up the lives of Indian folks. Gender difference in India is extremely advanced and heterogenous, and it exists in each field like education, employment opportunities, income, health, cultural problems, social problems, economic issues etc. An effort has been created to seek out out those factors that are to blame for this problem in India. So, this paper highlights the multi-dimensional context of gender inequalities prevalent in India. Overall, the study indicates the differences in economic, social, cultural and legal biases which pose challenge for policy-makers and social scientists to ascertain proper equality within the entire social field. The researcher has tried to counsel some relevant strategies and policies implication for reducing this gender difference and to market the dignified position for Indian ladies.
