This anthology is mainly a collection of papers presented in 3 day National Seminar on Women`s Empowerment, sponsored by the Indian Council of Philosophical Research, New Delhi and organised in the Department of Philosophy, B.R. Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur in March 2002. A few more thematically relevant papers have been included in different parts of this book with a view to selecting some more important perspectives other than those initially incorporated and delineated in the seminar.
In Indian society women have been subjected to neglect and torment for long because of various factors. The independence of India and adoption of parliamentary system of democracy have failed to bring the desired significant change in the status of women. They are still suffering at the hands of stronger sex and also that of their own kind. Demand of dowry, killing of or suicide by the women, female foeticide etc. are the evils of our society to which women are subjected to even in the 21st century. This is detrimental to our peace, prosperity and harmonious growth. It is the responsibility of philosophers to provide solutions of the evils of the society. The writers have endeavoured to portray and examine the factors responsible for pathetic conditions of women and put forward various suggestions to improve their lives. Now, it is for the readers to judge how far the authors have succeeded in their attempts.ISBN : 9788184540956
