The Report of the Committee on the Status of Women in India notes the ‘paucity of data’ on important social and economic variables affecting the presonality structure and patterns of social behaviour of Indian women. This landmark book offers a fresh perspective on women and social change through empirical studies of the interaction between the traditional images of women and their new social roles in the family and the wider society. The first section of the book presents an overview of the actual situation of women in India and outlines a realistic scenario for the integration of women in the process of national development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41608261271649,"sku":"9788194352181","price":50.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_11876302_19698286_20241209022444.jpg?v=1733761731","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9788194352181-women-in-contemporary-india-traditional","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
