3. A Tribute to the Indian Women - India's progress and the status accorded to

the Indian women are intertwined. During the Vedic times India women were

progressive, treated well and as a cultural unit we prospered too. Since it is

believed that the 21st century belongs to India I am hoping that it is

accompanied by the further empowerment of women. With these thoughts I dedicate

this article to the Indian Women. The article traces the status of women from

the Vedic times to 1947. It covers their status, education, marriage age,

reasons for reducting in their status from 500 BC to 500 AD, purdah, sati and a

comparsion of the status of the Indian women with her Western counterpart. Let

us have more Indra Nooyis (President and CFO of Pepsico) and Renuka Ramnath

(ICICI).
