A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE RISE AND DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN'S MOVEMENT IN INDIA
Abstract
The women' development in India, as most social developments, is comprised of strands that vary on the general supremacy of issues, techniques of assembly, and types of aggregate activity. While explicit issues have outweighed everything else at various verifiable minutes, as a rule, there has been a wide agreement inside the development over what comprises 'transformatory change' for women. It is commonly concurred, for instance, that aggregate activity around issues concerning women must be coordinated against different layers of control, to be specific, station, class, culture, and belief system, and comprise of non-systematized political activity just as activity for change through and inside foundations. Once more, while control is tried to be disassembled at the degree of both society and the express, the issue of self-sufficiency has figured in the development in critical ways, forming explicit points of view on women's activist legislative issues, deciding the relationship among women' associations, and their collusions with different developments and gatherings.
