If we look at the status of women in a traditional country like India, women are still subordinate to men. It is a tragedy that the life of a woman is unstable in a country where women are Adoring, worshiping in the name of Gods like Sharade, Saraswati, Kali, Durga, Chamundi, Lakshmi, Yallamma, Huligemma etc. A woman is physically weak but not mentally. She is also no less than a men. Yet the system recognizes women differently. Made subservient to men. Women faced many problems. Due to the power of patriarchy, women lost their right to exist. Feminine power society has ushered in a silent revolution in society where voiceless women are voices. Women who do not have the opportunity to express their opinion about the happenings at home are moving towards finding meaning for their feelings and dreams. But in a time when education was limited only to men, women were deprived of education, confined to the kitchen, and lived under the control of men. Even in the inner circle of the house, any decisions and conclusions in the house belonged to the men. She is bound to face new challenges in her private life as well as in public life. Dowry, sexual harassment, family conflict, gender discrimination, labour, production, health, education. Many problems have to be faced in economic and political sphere. As long as we are parasites, we cannot live on our own strength, self-respect. Once we decide to shape our own future without blaming anyone, we never fail at anything.
