The patriarchal Indian society is a male dominant society in which gender inequality is deeply penetrated. In this society, differential treatment on the bases of gender is practised right from the childhood. Inequality between men and women runs around every sphere of the country whether it may be education, governance or economic opportunities. Advances have been made in social legislation but gender inequality has not ended. The government of India has made many laws and acts to safeguard and secure the rights of women and banish practises leading to gender discrimination. Gender equality can only be realised in India when the traditional practices like female infanticide, dowry deaths, honour killings, and violence or abuse is eliminated. And women are provided with their right to education. Only when women are fully aware of their rights and potentials, they can lead an empowered and respectful life
