Inequality with Women in the Indian System: A Review Paper

Social inequality remains a pervasive issue across societies, influencing economic opportunities, education, healthcare, and legal systems. In India, gender-based inequality is deeply entrenched due to cultural, social, economic, and political factors. This research review examines the multifaceted dimensions of gender inequality in India, including economic disparity, discrimination in education, healthcare, political representation, and legal rights. The study employs theoretical frameworks such as structural functionalism, conflict theory, and intersectionality to understand the roots and mechanisms perpetuating inequality. Additionally, the review highlights social justice initiatives aimed at reducing disparities through policy reforms, legal interventions, and grassroots movements. By synthesizing empirical studies and policy analyses, this paper underscores the necessity of a multidimensional approach to addressing systemic inequalities and fostering a more equitable society.
