 Women
With all her rich cultural antiquity, diversity and heritage, India
has also been a country that has suppressed her women. It is ironic to
say the least, because Indians have always worshipped their country as
a “janani” or mother. On the one hand they worship this mother,
and on the other they disregard their sisters, daughters, mothers, and
wives. Articles on these pages discuss issues concerning women.
