DESCRIPTION
The status of women in the Indian society was proscribed by the religious establishments for a long time. Though some of the social categories like adivasis and dalits have remained outside the pale of Hindu religious prescriptions; it is by and large adapted to the dominance of the mainstream practices. Therefore, the status and empowerment of the disadvantaged groups is generally held to be different and a little free from the tyranny of the male chauvinism that we see in the mainstream society.
