Answers
1.Womens have given equal rights like those of men in most of the democratic countries like India
2.social habits have been made to uplift the weaker sections of the society like the scheduled caste and Scheduled Tribes so that they could live with dignity and honour
3.The focus of social empowerment is on building up social capabilities,
social status and opportunities among individuals, classes and communities who
are denied access to these vital components of social life. The origin of
marginalization in Indian context is deeply rooted in the social structure of
Indian society where discrimination based on caste, class and gender is largely
prevalent from time immemorial21. Deep-rooted ideas of purity and pollution
governed the social standings of different castes and sexes; men and women
were deemed to be of unequal moral worth as were the different ‘varnas’; and
the social hierarchy was underpinned by a legal order in which privileges and
disabilities were carefully modulated according to caste and gender22
