Solution
- Following independence, the Constitution granted women equal rights in all fields. Despite this, women were not treated equally in all fields.
- Women's liberation movements were active during this time period. The movement advocated for women to be treated as human beings.
- Women were heavily involved in movements against corruption, caste discrimination, and religious extremism in the latter period, which made them aware of injustice against themselves.
- Women began to take the lead in organizing anti-injustice movements. The women's movement in India is not uniform in nature.
- However, various levels of women's movements are addressing issues such as women's health, social security, financial independence, and empowerment.
- Women's movements today face the challenge of providing equal education for women as well as elevating women's status and prestige as human beings.
