In many parts of the world, Women are dominated by men. In adding up to being treated as second-class people by men, women have faced unfairness, humiliation, exploitation, oppression, dominance, and violence. A quick overview of Indian women's cultural backgrounds over the years is required for an assessment of today's Indian women. The Indian woman belongs to a civilization with well-rooted customs. If she has a certain belief or behaves in a certain way, it is because of the pattern instilled in her by a rather stable social structure that has evolved over a thousand years. As a result, defining the cultural practices and portrayals of women and understanding the current situation of Indian women requires a thorough understanding of the country. Hence, this paper is an attempt to analyse the patriarchal nature and the identity of women in Indian society. Women in modern India have achieved significant advances in every field of life, but they continue to face deep-seated patriarchal mentalities.
