Hi,

     The position of women in India has improved considerably in the last 
couple of decades as compared to before. Agreed, certain restrictions do 
exist, but you have to realise that male domination has been a way of life 
for over 2000 years.. its not going to change overnite. I mean atleast, 
women are granted the same fundamental rights as men are, they are allowed 
to vote, Sati was abolished. Women of today can be much more thankful then 
their grandmothers or such. Even the idea that there are so many more girls 
getting secondary education is pointing brighter future then before.

  Girls may not be enrolled as much in co-ed schools but there are always 
girls only schools. I think if a lot of the families stopped viewing the 
daughter as a burden, i am not saying all do, but i do know certain ppl who 
still do, that might be a bigger plus point towards women having a more 
balanced role in society.

Thanks
Aditi
