Greatest Supporter of women's freedom: Mahatma Gandhi

Asstt. Prof. Pushpa Rani

Abstract :

Gandhi strongly favoured the emancipation of women.He opposed purdah child marriage, untouchability and extreme oppression of Hindu widows, up to and including salt . He especially recruited women to participate in the salt tax campaigns and the boycott of foreign products. Gandhi‘s success in enlisting women in his campaigns, including the salt tax campaign, anti-untouchability campaign and the peasant movement, gave many women a new self-confidence and dignity in the mainstream of Indian public life. The low status of women was the result of prejudices arid adverse traditions, which were centuries old.As a women I feel rather it was easy to change perception a little because of patient ,genuine dialogue and approach.
