Continuation to 5 influential women in India
Hum Dariya Hain..
Humme Apna Hunar malum hain…………..
Jis taraf bhi chal padengy
raaste ban jayengy……..
This is an era of women trying to shatter the glass ceilings and men attempting to cope with ‘over’ successful wives.
Studies have not only proved that women
are better than men at juggling more than one task, but also women approach multiple problems more methodically and logically. In this era, women have acquired respectable positions in every field of life.
Indian women have always been perceived by the world as the quiet, docile kind of women, with long hair, clad in saree with lots of gold jewellery, who like to be inside the house, and enjoy taking care of their families.
