Women in general have been suffering from agony, distress, discrimination, apathy in every walk of their life even in modern times. The tormentor turns out to none but their own family, friends and fellow humans. The outside world is a stranger to them, as much as a foreign land. This is very true that if we go deep into India, we will find such glaring examples of discrimination against women that they are meant to be an item of decoration, child-bearing machine. There are a few temples in South India where women are denied entry. Women comprise 66 percent of the world’s illiterates and 70 percent of the world’s poor similarly suppression of women is very old and outdated trend of so called patriarchical society. Hindu Succession Act (Amendment 2005) has paved the way of equality which will be instrumental for upliftment and development of the status of women.
