Woman making headlines now a days either by being elected as minister or vice president in foreign land. What if these women living in India today, do they get the same opportunity?  Indian women living abroad who have chosen career over kids, attaining the zenith of success and getting admiration from people living in India and abroad. As per Indian tradition and culture women are supposed to live at home to take care of family and kids. Once Stepped over foreign land woman get freed from cultural limits. Who is right here? women who decide their course of lives own their own or women who are kept in well-defined societal limits.

Priyanca Radhakrishnan becomes first-ever minister of New Zealand of Indian origin

India was once agrarian country where men used to be on farms and women at home. Time and work have been changed; Indian economy shifted from agrarian to service sector providing more jobs to woman in offices. Private sector played major role for empowering woman work force in India. It is the type of work that eased the cultural barriers. Advent of technology aspired the women and made them to believe in themselves.

But challenges are huge for mother working woman who has challenges to make balance between office and home. Very few companies and organization provide basic infrastructure for child care at work place. Family expects more time from woman at home as office expects all time her presence. India the only country where woman is revered in several forms of Goddess neglecting their greater role in economy. India has highest share of savings in the form of household savings which is usually done by woman. Women the biggest market consumer of all kind starting from kitchen to apparel are well targeted by business models. Modernization has changed the lifestyle but woman participation in workforce is still dismal in India. Notion of equality comes along with notion of humanity. woman need to be considered human first.
