Abstract: Centuries have passed to uplift the status of women in Indian society. But all efforts of Reformists and Indian Constitutions Acts made for women’s rights are in vain. It has been observed that many laws have been made for women and men regarding equality to both. But, In this Patriarchial society women have not got the status which they deserved. ‘Equality’ as we say is only a word with no meaning in case of women. It is only printed in books and according to Indian Constitution that there are equal laws for men and women. Even some laws have given more benefit to women as compared to men. But where are those laws when women are suffering from societal evils like child marriage, sati pratha, domestic violence, dowry deaths and many more crimes. At the time of colonial period there were many inhuman practices which enforced on women, and there were number of restrictions imposed on them. Now, if we look at present scenario we did not find any tremendous change in their status, only few women are aware of their rights. This Research paper throws light on the conditions of women from colonial period to modern era. For the present research paper researcher has used secondary data from many sources.
