Abstract
This paper attempts to analyze the status of Women Empowerment in India and the challenges of women empowerment. Today empowerment has become the most important part of 21st century.
Since the older times, women have been treated as second rate citizens of all across the globe. The situation is almost the same everywhere irrespective of the developed country or the developing country-caste, community, colour or creed a position that is comparable in many ways, with that of racial minorities. Women have been relegated to secondary position despite the fact that they numerically constitute about half the world population today.This situation has caused immense loss to their self-dignity as human beings and also their independent entities, associated with men, apart from other matter, in context with intellectual and professional capability.
It is really ironical that superiority is not accorded to the fair sex who are responsible for carrying forward lives on this planet but to men who have muscle power with the help of which they can subjugate others.
