Abstract

The most enigmatic fact about our oriental culture is that the general conception regarding women is completely paradoxical on the one hand. She is hardly considered a human being. The status of women has been a topic of grave discussion, for many years in the past. It surrounds various burning issues of girl and women education, mental health, economic empowerment of females, and the role of women in family, community environment, politics and more. The status of women depicts the social, economic and mental condition in a nation. Women have been regarded as a symbol of spirituality in our scriptures. Yet, women were denied right and equality in ancient Indian civilisation. They have been treated badly and unequally to men. He maintains culture, customs and brigs them out. She is the one who cares about her husband and his family. In other words she creates values, positive changes, and everything in society. In this paper I want to analyze the status of women in the light of social and human institutions.
