Impact of Globalization on Women in India: A Critical Review

Abstract

Throughout the course of Indian history, women have faced a variety of challenges like social pressure, discrimination based on caste and other forms of social constraints such as limited access to productive resources, poverty, limited opportunities for advancement, helplessness and exclusion, and so on. On the other hand, globalization has resulted in the emergence of a wide range of new circumstances for women, which have an impact on virtually every facet of their life. This study has tried to understand impacts of globalization on women’s lives in terms of media role, education, cultural aspects, politics & the role of women, participation of women in society, and other positive & negative aspects of globalization.
