Three elements significantly affect the level of women's empowerment in a country, viz. economic, social and political identity. A gradual change is now visible in modern-day India, and this change can be particularly seen in large cities. Women now have diverse professions like doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, pilots, taxi drivers and police officers. They have found employment in fields that have been traditionally considered male-dominated. Though women have outshined in every field, they still face discrimination at almost every level of employment. Gender bias is evident from the lack of workplace promotions to the lack of basic sanitation facilities for female drivers in India. The interconnection of gender relations, development levels, and social stratification is the subject of this book, without minimising the full significance of each in Indian society. The book is a one-of-a-kind document for scholars, academics, NGOs, and the government for effecting the necessary changes.
