Women in the Indian Epics

Anyone, born in the soil of the Indian sub-continent, will surely notice the misery of woman. Most of the women in this region are to struggle for a living and are to live against thousand and one odds. Women do sweat and miserably they do so, usually in the agricultural fields or in the unorganized sectors. They are also tied to the families and there they pay their services as responsible home-makers although their labor is hardly acknowledged and is hardly converted into money in any way. Of course their presence, fortunately and unfortunately, is also felt in the organized and corporate sectors. They shed sweats and they shed tears, simultaneously, days after days and years after years.
