In the ever changing and ever evolving reality of life, the status of woman all over the world and particularly in the Indian continent has undergone rapid and phenomenal change. Women’s past has been a pathetic one, governed and dictated by male standards. Inching towards future, she has succeeded to a great extent, though not fully, to break the fetters of her servility and oppression and prove her worth to the world. The world has started witnessing their value competence.
