With steady to rising GDP more and more women are taking up to higher education and career. I am one of believer of 'Give correct exposure and Indian women are future of 21st century Corporates.
Career thing is so visible; as with every passing day US/UK settled indian grooms are finding it difficult and difficult to find there brides in india. A interesting and promising career is more sought after than cooking n cleaning with microwaves n dishwashers.
Again most of developed countries have a good 50%+ ratio of working women so Kudos to Nari Shakti of India.
Having said all raosy stuff; theres a transition as far as Male chauvinist society
goes; as traditionally women are bound to 4 walls of house looking after kids, cooking for family members,.... So its very natural and common for mens to hard digest independent n career savy women around. Even I see it in myself; though i help with cooking, shopping and small house hold things, but still Maleness is so much in me my wife end up looking after home and her office work to studies :) And what i do is like most of us work, spend time after my hobbies and if get still spare time spend time with kid.
This is a typyical story with most of Indian houses and with more urbanisation such households are on increase as well.
Elderly women who have gone throught this need to have counselling and socail networking events for todays women more than what is required in past.
But yes; with more girls topping in merit list to taking up higher jobs; Indian Women are marching alongwith Men towards a developed India.
