Intersectional Realities: Socio-Cultural, Economic And Historical Determinants Of Women’s Rights In India
Abstract
This study examines the persistent gap between constitutional guarantees and the lived reality of women in India.It analyzes how socio-cultural practices, intersectional identities of caste and class, and the lingering effects of colonial and nationalist ideologies contribute to the systematic violation of women's rights.The paper also evaluates post-independence policies, including the 2026 status of the Women's Reservation Act, to provide a comprehensive view of the path toward gender justice.
