The history
Harassment, beating, mental stress, inferior behavior, lack of equality in the society, sexual exploitation etc. were common in the society. For women, stepping out of the house was like a punishment. Even if she had done this, all the anti-social elements flourishing in the society would not have left her behind. In the absence of education, people would do some small work. Life was limited to earning and filling the stomach. Some people used to earn their living by looting, firing etc. and would teach the same to the coming generations.
As a result, many aspects of life such as art, culture, patriotism, education, social happiness and peace etc. went on disappearing from reality.
In the year 1991, a group of people started an organization named Mahila Kalyan Samiti to protect the rights of these women and to root out the atrocities on them. And till date this organization has taken many important steps and given a value to the life of women.
