Gender discrimination and inequality has been a feature of the Indian society since ages. It cuts across class, caste, religion and state boundaries. Gender discrimination and inequality is structural in nature covering the social, cultural, economic and political domains of social life. No doubt the degree of gender discrimination and disparities has reduced after India's Independence due to the country's growth and special affirmative policies and programmes adopted by the Indian state. Women's voices of protests and movements have also played an important role in this endeavour. Still women lag behind men in contemporary India due to persisting gender discrimination and inequality prevalent in both public and private spheres of life. The volume presents a multidimensional analysis of the problem of gender discrimination and inequalities in contemporary India. It attempts to provide a largely holistic, though not exhaustive, picture of gender discrimination and inequality in contemporary India.
