ABSTRACT
Whatever might be the form of social organisation as emerges out of the plan, the basic principle underlying should be equal status for man and woman in respect of civic, economic and political rights. Woman’s civic rights, the economic position, the property rights she enjoys and educational qualifications, all these combine to give to woman a complete individuality and self-sufficiency. Woman has been deprived of her inherent right of citizenship and the vote of the conservative section, generally opposed to progressive reform, has been doubled by giving the woman a vote not in her own right as an individual, but as a wife. One of the greatest disabilities the Indian woman suffers from, under the present social order is the difference in the standard of morality for men and women. In order to help woman to become a useful citizen and productive worker, she must be assured of her fundamental rights.
