In this paper, I have examined the status of Indian women when India celebrates its 75th independence anniversary. India gained independence from Great Britain in 1947; however, not all the population gained equality. Women in a newly independent India continue to be subjects of subservient and domestic roles, and this social role continues into the 21st century. Women of India got the right to vote, and gradually improvements were made in various areas that led to the well-being of women within the society. The formulation of many programs and schemes aimed to bring progress to women. The main aspects that promote women's empowerment are encouraging them to acquire education and participate in employment. However, despite these initiatives, some rural communities still regard women as subordinate to men, which is subject to analysis. This paper stresses the need for sustained efforts to increase the involvement of women to remove socio-cultural barriers, stereotypical attitudes, and violence against women for creating a gender-balanced society.
