Women in Post Independent India
Women in Post Independent India faced a major upheaval as regards their position, perception and role in society. In the period immediately following Independence, a number of constitutional provisions were made for women`s social, economic and political benefits. However, the most revolutionary change in the position and role of women in the post Independent period was brought about by the Towards Equality Report. Following the publication of this report much more comprehensive and detailed work was undertaken to improve women`s position and guarantee their rights.
