Why is feminism such a misconstrued term in India? Are people sometimes going overboard with their feminist ideologies ? India ranks 108/149 in the Gender inequality index. Only 40% of the girl children above 25 have received secondary education. Above 90% of the unorganised work force is employed by females compared to 85% males in the organised sector. Here, we see a clear lack of rapid improvement in India, in women's status, despite the immense potential and supposed opportunities available for them. In this episode Aditya and Jishnu tries to understand the issue of gender inequality in India with special emphasis on the condition of Indian daughters and feminism. We have with us Ms Lavanya Arvind who is an assistant professor in women's studies at Tata Institute of Social sciences, Author (the heavens we chase), researcher, Tedx speaker and someone who has achieved much more that we couldn't possibly fit in this description to give us her insights in this issue.
