As India slowly enters a new phase of development, the social problem of gender equality still lingers and hampers modernization and progress. The problem of gender issues discriminate against women and these issues can be seen to be as old as the existence of civilization. These issues are also prevalent in most societies. Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable society. Every human being in the society must take bold and stable steps towards breaking the norms of biased defined roles in the society.
