Different dimensions of Indian women as bodybuilders

Abstract

This paper looks at different dimensions of Indian women in the field of Body building, challenges faced by them, opportunities available and perception of common man towards them. The general mind set with people, what I have observed, is bodybuilding is meant for men and not women. And if a women tries to go against the wind and the ongoing traditional trend, they have to go through a lot of hardships and challenges, personally and professionally both. The basic stereotype says that men should be muscular and women should have good figure. Here, this mentality of public at large is put to a test!.
