Socioeconomic changes in the last 50 years, has progressively led to the identity of the women in India, from a housewife to an individual with a free choice. Although, the emancipation of the female gender in our traditional society, has still a long way to travel, but the educated, assertive and financially independent woman, is the new reality and this is set to grow. Today the educated young lady is more keen to establish herself in a career and only then is she comfortable to settle into a marriage, with the assurance of independent financial security. What will and has followed, is her desire to further establish her economic independence by investing her money in generating funds for retirement, as her commitment to children and family is much more than her male companion. A very important article Anil, I am sure other people will appreciate your article as well. Thoughtful !
