The implications of gender disparities in India

In India from the pre-historic period, women’s condition was not that much favourable for themselves. They are socially, economically and educationally always exploited. They are pressurised for different social economic and religious matter and used as a product. Not only in society but also at home itself women are exploited. Day by day there is a noticeable number of data came out on domestic violence. Such incident not only undermine the status of women in society but also at home. They have no decision making right within the home for her life also and face torture which leads to physical and mental damages. 

Every year we have data on increasing dowry death, which is not only a shameful act but also show what in happening with the women. Every year news come about physical assault, women trafficking not only on rural but also on urban areas. But the 1991-2001 census data shows that the sex ratio increased for the first time which shows a good sign for the Indian society. 

But the regional disparities further complicate the demographic analysis. Even Punjab, Haryana are among the rich state in the country in term of per capita income has show lowest sex ratio. Where the sex ratio in Kerala and Tamil Nadu show a good sign and increasing number on that matter. Low infant and adult sex ratios are widely seen to be indicators of the dismal situation of women in the country.

Telangana History - Satavahanas, Kakatiyas, Qutub Shahis, Asaf Jahis

Telangana, as a geographical and political entity was born on June 2, 2014 as the 29th and the youngest state in Union of India. However, as an economic, social, cultural and historical entity it has a glorious history of at least two thousand five hundred years or more. Megalithic stone structures like cairns, cists, dolmens and menhirs found in several districts of Telangana show that there were human habitations in this part of the country thousands of years ago. Remnants of iron ore smelting found at many places demonstrate the hoary roots of artisanship and tool making in Telangana for at least two thousand years.  The reference to Asmaka Janapada, part of present Telangana, as one of the 16 Janapadas in ancient India proves that there existed an advanced stage of society.
