Download or read book Women in India written by Sita Anantha Raman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are Indian women powerful mother goddesses, or domestic handmaidens trailing behind men in literacy, wages, opportunities, and rights? Have they been agents of their own destinies, or voiceless victims of patriarchy? Behind these colorful over-simplifications lies the reality of many feminine personas belonging to various classes, ethnicities, religions, and castes. This two-volume set looks at Indian history from ancient to modern times, revealing precisely why ideas of gender rights were not static across eras or regions. Raman's work is a reflection on the various ways in which women in a non-Western culture have developed and expressed their own feminist agenda. Are Indian women powerful mother goddesses, or domestic handmaidens trailing behind men in literacy, wages, opportunities, and rights? Have they been agents of their own destinies, or voiceless victims of patriarchy? Behind these coloful over-simplifications lies the reality of many feminine personas belonging to various classes, ethnicities, religions, and castes. This two-volume set looks at Indian history from ancient to modern times, revealing precisely why ideas of gender rights were not static across eras or regions. Raman's work is a reflection on the various ways in which women in a non-western culture have developed and expressed their own feminist agenda. Individual chapters highlight the enduring legacies of many important male and female figures, illustrating how each played a key role in modifying the substance of women's lives. Political movements are examined as well, such as the nationalist reform movement of 1947 in which the ideal of Indian womanhood became central to the nation and the push for independence. Also included is a survey of women in contemporary India and the role they played in the resurgence of militant Hindu nationalism. Aside from being an engaging and readable narrative of Indian history, this set integrates women's issues, roles, and achievements into the general study of the times, providing a clear presentation of the social, cultural, religious, political, and economic realities that have helped shape the identity of Indian women.

Book Synopsis Women and Indian Society by : Andal Narayanan
Download or read book Women and Indian Society written by Andal Narayanan and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Women and Indian Society: Options and Constraints is all about the women of India: the way they were perceived during the ancient times, the perceptions of their role in a matriarchal society, and the changes that cropped up in their lives during the freedom struggle. However, not much ground appears to have been covered in analysing the causes for the subordinate status of the Indian women. The author has explained the core causes for their cloistered roles, and their marginalisation, and has put forth some key factors that could empower them with an identity of their own and supply them with a viable escape route out of a state of entrapment. The basic reasons for subjugation of women in India are lack of education, denial of exposure to activities outside the homes, and an unreasonable rationalisation that such education or exposure will not improve their lot anyway. This has led to a self-fulfilling prophesy type of consequence, and left the women unchanged. This work is meant to be used as a reference book by serious researchers in women's studies, which has been included as an interdisciplinary subject in most of the Indian universities. Both informative and intimidating, the contents of this book are expected to start a progressive thought process in the minds of discerning readers."

Book excerpt: Of Late, The Women S Question Has Attracted The Attention Of Social Scientists Who Find Plenty Of Area Still Unexplored For Research. Women And Their Problems Have Acquired Growing Importance In Our Social Milieu. Hence, After Realizing The Significant Role Of Women, It Is Desirable That A Greater Emphasis Should Be Given For Her All Round Development And As Such Imparting Education And Providing Employment To This Vast Segment Of Population Becomes Prime Need Of The Hour. It Has Been Observed That Indian Studies On Women, By And Large, Suffer From A Crucial Lacuna Such As; Lack Of An Integrated Approach, Which Takes Into Consideration Both The Micro And The Macro Level Region. The Present Volume Is An Attempt Towards This Direction.It Identifies A Number Of Major Issues And Combines Empirical Material With Theoretical Insight And Discusses The Actual Position Of Women In Society. The Book Is Divided Into Two Volumes And Five Sections Viz; (I) Status Of Women (Ii) Educational Structure Of Women, (Iii) Occupational Structure Of Women, (Iv) Women In Politics, And (V) Women S Welfare.The Present Book Covers Diverse Aspects Of The Subject And Discusses Complexity Of Problems Faced By Women. This Is Multi-Disciplinary Investigation Into Various Aspects Of The Pressing Socio-Economic And Political Problems Facing Indian Women. The Study Provides An Overall View On Issues And Problems Related To Women Contributed By Distinguished Social Scientists And Presents A Comprehensive View On The Subject. Hence, It Is Hoped That This Book Will Be Of Immense Importance And Interest To Social Scientists, Policy Makers, Administrators And Scholars Who Are In Search For A New Paradigm Of Women And Development. The Book May, Perhaps, Be Best Described As Multi-Dimensional But The Editor Goes Beyond That Takes Into Account The Various Educational, Economic, Political And Social Factors Which Have Changed The World Of Work In India Since Independence.
Book Synopsis Women in Indian Society by : Anju Beniwal
Download or read book Women in Indian Society written by Anju Beniwal and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a woman in India, I find that the society is changing a lot in terms of acceptance of the many roles of women as professionals, as bread-earners in families and as independent thinking individuals. The traditional Indian woman has evolved to prove herself equal in many professions as well as proved better suited than men in others. The situation for the changing role of women is improving fast. On the other hand, female foeticide, dowry deaths, and domestic abuse provide a macabre background of primitive barbarism. In the typical Indian Society, you find that there are still expectations and assumptions about women that are not so much relevant to their current status, but a clear hangover from our suppressive past. This may be more obvious with traditional women or women in rural societies, but it is extremely prevalent in urban ones as well. This book contains the articles related to women issues. It addresses critical aspects of life of women in India like violence, female foeticide, challenges against working women, psychological barriers in empowerment of women, live-in-relationship, health issues etc. Articles related to the status of Tribal and Muslim women, Role of judiciary and role of women in independence movement are one of important matters which we should discuss. It finds that progress in ensuring the equal status of women and men has been made in many areas, including school enrolment, health, and economic participation. At the same time, it makes clear that much more needs to prevent the many forms of violence to which women are subjected. It is my hope that the insights and information contained in the present publication will help governments, researchers, scholars, non-governmental organizations and concerned citizens around the world in their efforts to ensure that every single woman achieves her full potential.
