To define the "Indian woman" is to attempt to hold water in your hands—she is fluid, diverse, and constantly reshaping her boundaries. India is a subcontinent of contradictions, and nowhere is this more visible than in the lives of its women. She is the custodian of ancient traditions and the disruptor of modern norms; she is the goddess worshipped in temples and the activist shouting for rights on the streets.
Indian women are excelling in fields traditionally dominated by men. They make up a significant portion of the workforce in Information Technology (IT), banking, medicine, and aviation.
