*"In ancient India, women enjoyed equal and honourable status in the society as men. No 'yajna' could be performed by a husband without the participation of his wife*. Modern India has also seen many great women leaders like Smt. Sarojini Naidu, Smt. Vijaylakshmi Pandit, Smt.Capt.Laxmi, Smt. Indira Gandhi, etc. *In spite of this,* it has been seen that a great majority of Indian women are still victims of harassment and cruelty both in their homes as well as at their workplaces." The above is from Kerala women's commission site. The same matter has been there for at least an year.
