To write a definitive feature on the Indian woman’s lifestyle is impossible. She is too vast, too varied, too volatile. She is the vegetable vendor in Ahmedabad who has mastered the UPI payment QR code. She is the surrogacy mother in Gujarat paying for her son’s engineering degree. She is the gynaecologist in Kolkata who prescribes antidepressants along with prenatal vitamins.
In India, women have traditionally been associated with domestic roles, taking care of the family, and managing household chores. However, with changing times, Indian women have begun to break free from these stereotypes, pursuing careers, education, and personal growth. Despite this, many women still face societal pressure to conform to traditional expectations, balancing their personal aspirations with family responsibilities.
