Impact of Western Feminism on Modern Indian Women
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Influenced by Western feminist ideology, Indian women in modern times had changed their cultural identity in modern Indian society. They regarded the traditional ideals and value system as blind faith, which would arrest their individual freedom and progress towards modernity. Sidelining the multifaced network of relationship which Indian women had enjoyed in the past, modern women concentrated their on achieving their personal rights and individual development in order to become equal to man in each and every field of activity. As a result, women’s movement in Modern India had taken the shape of activism as in the case of Western countries. The new trend in Indian feminism made women fight against the existing concept of the role of sex in society and to yield economic independence from male authority leading to an unhealthy competition between the two sexes and even hatred between them. In fact, the feminism borrowed from the West stood as a barrier for the cultural and spiritual development of the Indian women and the future generations.
