Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to determine the social status of women and focus on gender disparities in India. It examines the effectiveness of constitutional laws, enactments and policies to establish the human rights and gender justice. In order to draw the inferences, different types of surveys reports and research studies showing the conditions of women have been used. Study concludes that the conditions of women have undoubtedly improved but gender injustice is still a problem that is seen all over in the
society. In India the most of the laws are not effective as they are ahead of public opinion and willingness of the people to change the society and give the women the status of equality. We are still unaware and in the grip of customs and traditions which covertly discriminate against women.
