520			_aThe women in India society are still subjected to an ujfair treatment due to the dictates of caste system dynamics and a retrograde value system that seeks to restrain their resilience. This is more widespread in rural societies, where illiteracy and age old religious traditions restrict the rearing of the girl child, by depriving her of opportunities to grow as an individual through education and confining her to the four walls of her family for eventual consigning at the altar of marriage being the only goal. The urban and particularly metropolitan life shows a stark contrast to the realities of rural India. The observations made in this article reaffirm that education and awareness play a vital role in arousing women from this state of ennui and deprivation. Elementary education and exposure to changed environment cast a positive influence and instill a sense of independence, self-sufficiency and courage to face the odds with fortitude. - Reproduced.
