There is a lot of difference from the ancient days to modern days. In the ancient days women age is known as dark age as they have so many restrictions in their daily lives. They were not allowed to move freely and this lead to the further deterioration of their status. Hindu Women India plays utmost role but they have many problems in the society. These problems related with women resulted in changed mindset of people. Now they began to consider a girl as misery and a burden, which has to be shielded from the eyes of intruders and needs extra care.

The plight of women can be imagined by one of the shloka of Tulsidas where he writes  "Dhol, gawar, shudra, pashu, nari, ye sab tadan ke adhikari". Meaning that animals, illiterates, lower castes and women should be subjected to beating. The position of women in India in the ancient days was so critical.Thus women were compared with animals and were married off at an early age.

   Thus protecting the sanctity of the women and the whole clan. Women are not only growing in other fields but also participating for politics in India. Also there is much restriction on widow marriages. Sometimes heads of widows were also shaved down. They were not allowed to remarry. Any woman remarrying was looked down by the society. This cruelty on widows was one of the main reasons for the large number of women committing Sati. Living as a Hindu women india widow was a sort of a curse.

              Compared to the ancient days, the status of women India was gradually subjected to many changes. In the modern world If on one hand she is at the peak of ladder of success, on the other hand she is mutely suffering the violence afflicted on her by her own family members.

The women have left the secured domain of their home and are now in the battlefield of life, fully armored with their talent. They had proven themselves.

                     There are 933 females per thousand males in India according to the census of 2001, which is much below the world average of 990 females. Women Politics are much different from male ones.There are many problems which women in India have to go through daily.
