Synopsis Gender issues are an indispensable component of Indian social system. Women are career oriented along with the role of home-making. Women are faced with many gender issues as paid workers. Women are discriminated because they are considered as fair sex. Differentiation exists both at inhibited and exhibited levels. Roles are assigned according to gender in the form of stereotypic roles. As a matter of fact sensitivity exists among both the sexes as how jobs are allotted, work is carried on etc. As such, women are faced with many issues in the present set up of society. Modernity has created certain conflicting and anxiety situations among the women due to laxity in shedding traditional outlook and at the same time in assimilating the modern outlook. Modernization has to a very great extent been able to break the shackles of tradition and opt for employment which has brought about dramatic and drastic changes in their beliefs, attitudes and values. Employment has brought about socio-economic emancipation of women pushing equalitarian and egalitarian values to the forefront. The battle for gender justice has been a long drawn struggle. To bring reform in the social, economic, and educational fields there is need for certain attitudinal changes that comprise change of contracts, change of relations and change of values.
