Abstract

A coin has two sides. Men and women they are closely related to the development like the two sides of the same coin. We cannot think the development of family, society, state and world without the contribution of women. But in the patriarchal society women are the deprived section. Sometimes it is said that girls or females are the burden in the family and society. Though it is not true. Boys or girls, males and females, men and women are equal. For this reason, Feminism has been emerged as a revolution to reduce the gap between men and women. The Father of the Nation of India, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (M.K Gandhi) gives various important opinions relating to women. And the government of India has also enacted various laws for the welfare of women. In this article I focus on that how Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s views are closely related to the Acts, laws and provisions for the welfare of women in India.
