Evolution of Women’s rights in India

In the past, women‟s had not equal rights. In fact women‟s experience violence, crime discrimination and exploitation. In past times women followed certain norms and traditions that put many limitations on them. Because Indian society is a male dominated society. Non discrimination is an essential to the realisation of women‟s rights. Through this paper we studied about women‟s status in different era from Vedic era to present time and know about evaluation of women‟s rights. In past times woman faces many social problems but now government gives equal status to women with giving them equal rights. The Constitution is the basic document which governs our rights and lays down the structure by which we are governed. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is referred to as the Father of the Indian Constitution as he headed the Constituent Assembly and played an important part is including individual and political rights against the state as well as group rights / socio-cultural rights of the marginalised section. The aim of writing this paper is to spread awareness about women‟s rights and historical evaluation of women rights in India.
