OverviewThe fifth volume in the Rethinking India series looks at the reality of gender equality in India against the promises made in the Constitution of India of a just and equal country. India remains a very unequal country and women control, at best, about 10-15 per cent of economic and political resources. In India, a highly patriarchal society, social norms give very little power to women and consequently, women have little control or influence over decisions taken within their households, in markets, or in political spaces. Challenging these norms can lead to a backlash, leading to high levels of violence against women. Is it possible to imagine a more equal country by 2047, a hundred years after Independence Full Product DetailsAuthor: Nisha AgrawalPublisher: Penguin Random House India Imprint: Penguin Dimensions: Width: 5.60cm , Height: 0.30cm , Length: 9.70cm ISBN: 9780670092994ISBN 10: 0670092991 Pages: 256 Publication Date: 08 March 2021 Audience: General/trade , College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , General , Tertiary & Higher Education Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: To order  Stock availability from the supplier is unknown.
