The girls are historically taken as exploited class. They suffered a untraced type of exploitation. For example, the birth of girls is discouraged, depriving them of education and separating them from ancestral property.
There was girls and women deprivation and dispensed in the history of almost complete ancient times and medieval. Therefore, empowering women after the advent of modernity became our first priority. In this process of empowerment, we spoke of all kinds of empowerment in economic, political and social, but our empowerment meant empowering women to adapt to the male life, namely limiting women and getting them shoulder to side with men. The car was not allowed to walk. Women were believed to be only suited to home responsibility.
If ever a woman decided to work in public life by mobilizing her courage, it is not only opposed by the male class but also in no way to cooperate. For example, women also discharge household responsibilities as well as working in the public sector. The domination continues at the present time. Thus, what was expected to improve the status of women with the advent of modernity has proved to be almost unfounded.
In historical times in India, public life and private life were kept in a clear distinction between the two. Not only was it adopted the methodology of labour division between the higher class and the lower class, but also between men and women, only men were given entry in public life while women were deprived of it. The activity of women was limited to mere personal life, which was entrusted with the responsibility of supervising the women-to-family, while the men were entrusted with the responsibility of earning the income by going to public life.
The gender equality movement began in modern times and especially in north-modern times. There has been a special role of humanist, socialist and feminist thinkers in motivating it. There were slogans – women ' equality and women empowerment. ‘In this order a significant step was taken, the step was to provide equal status to women at the constitutional level and the area of public life to be opened for women. ' ’
Now, women men could freely participate in public life. The move was seen as a great social revolution and praised the move around. Leaders from social reformers boasted of the achievement of women empowerment.
But the times ahead proved that the so-called movement of gender Equality was an incomplete agenda. Women were found to have entered into a public life but their obligations in private life did not cut any kind.
Women when immaterial by public life, he had to fulfill the obligation of a wife, a mother and a daughter in law at home. It has become a great challenge for women to fulfill both public life and private life. Women undergo between public life and private life.
In such a situation, the performance of women in public life could have a negative impact. This negative impact also affected their employment and other available opportunities. Recent research known as the Working Group; the participation of women has down from 37 per cent to 29 per cent.
Some patrilineal thinkers have also tried to prove that biology and sociologists are weaker than women men, but the question here is what is the best and inferiority criterion?
Is it not superior to those who have even been in public life while fulfilling their obligations in private life and they are women. At home on one hand, they are expected to serve the role of a perfect mother, a perfect wife, and ideal daughter in law, but on the other hand they are supposed to discharge their obligations in public life.
If we see the status of women in the Western countries in parallel with India, we find that in Western countries as well as growing women's participation in public life, their role in personal life has been limited. The aligning effect had been on their productivity so they managed to perform better in public life. There was no improvement in the status of women in India.
That is why even today, women have to meet the obligations of public life as well as private life. If we want to improve the performance of women in public life, then we have to increase men's participation in a private life, i.e. men have to come forward and collaborate with women in domestic life.
Women should have the freedom to carry out their decisions relating to their career and children etc. and empowering women will be possible.
But these changes must obstacle the Patrilineal approach and eliminate all types of discrimination between the woman and the man. While increasing the responsibilities of men in private and household life, women on the other hand must provide complete autonomy for the public sector. Also, the whole society will have to make a sincere effort to enhance the participation of women together. Then, the Indian working woman will be able to get a justified act.
