What are the rights of Indian women today?

In: US History, India History [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

In parts of India, women's rights matter little; and in other parts of India, women's rights have improved.

Answer (expanded version)

^{Because of globalization and a larger percentage of women entering the workforce, the perceived value of the woman has extended beyond the realms of homemaker, wife and mother. This has caused a dramatic and positive shift in the area of women's rights: culturally and legally.}

^{Although old and discriminatory ways are practiced in small villages where education and forward-progress are not considered as important as surviving daily life, most of India (especially the metropolitan areas) treat women fairly and with respect. As a byline, The Indian government is involved and trying to improve matters.}
