ABSTRACT:
Different societies have different attitudes towards women. In Santa Dharma, to respect women, she was displayed as an ideal of wealth, power, and intelligence. Whereas in the context of Indian women, the belief is the opposite. Today, even though the law accepts the right over the wealth of the girl's father, the implementation of this law is not possible in society unless some legal claim is not resorted to. Durga may be the incarnation of Shakti in Santa Dharma, but an Indian woman is still considered an Abla. Similarly, for a long time, the intelligence and conscience of a woman have been viewed with suspicion by society and are being seen even today. “Society always creates and destroys its traditions by looking at your predecessor. Not only Indian society, but the society of any caste, creed class in the world has been and is presently male-dominated society by nature (with few exceptions). If this was not the case, then many women writers and social workers in western countries would not have been called feminists and they would not have had to break many traditions created by men.
