GANDHI’s APPROACH ON WOMEN AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

Abstract

Gandhi is one of the most important persons of the world. He wanted to establish a classless society irrespective of any caste, race, religion and gender. He worked for the upliftment of the status of women in the society. According to Mahatma Gandhi, women had been deprived of many opportunities and had been suppressed under various conditions. There was a lack of social justice among them. They were taught to regard themselves as slaves of men. Gandhi tried to make women realize their full status in society and their roles as equal to men.

The aim of this paper is to discuss Gandhi’s attempts to improve the status of women in society and to find out the various social injustices faced by women in the society.
