Gender Roles In Indian Cultures

   As a women in India gender roles have changed in accepting many roles of women as professionals, as bred winners in families and as independent thinking individuals.  The traditional Indian woman has evolved to prove herself equal in many professions as well as proved better suited than men in others. In the typical Indian Society, you find that there are still expectations and assumptions about women that are not relevant to their current status, but hangover from our suppressive past. This is more obvious with traditional women or women in rural societies. Regardless of how hard the man and woman of the house work, when it comes to women and society, there are certain areas of the home that are the woman’s province. Indian women’s clothing is another externally imposed recommendation backed by vicious judgment.

   

I feel that they should continue with the work on changing gender roles in India. I feel if women continue to rebel and fight for their right they will be able to be independent, and be in professional fields with men. Also if they start to be equal, other cultures will follow.
