Tremendous changes have been recorded in the nature and intensity of the problems now being encountered by different segments of women in different socio economic cultural locales of the country. A paradigm shift is therefore needed in the approach and methodology empowering them. A vital pre requisite to do so is to map out the transformed empowerment tasks. However this is what is lacking in most exercises attempting situation analysis identification of the areas of intervention planning and designing programmes organization structures and processes to deliver the intended services and inputs to produce desired outcomes and impacts. Viewed in this backdrop this volume is an outstanding departure from the previous studies. This collection of 26 very carefully selected studies is first serious attempt to begin mapping out the specifics of the situation analyses and thereby facilitating diversified solutions calibrated to meet the specific requirements and contextualities of women's empowerment in India. In dealing with the contemporary tasks of women's empowerment it covers this larger task space under five major sub themes. These are masculinity and violence on women survival reproduction and protection from Lethal threats issues in access choice and substance in education presence agency and control of wo.

This collection of essays grew out of dissatisfaction with the tone and tenor of public discourse on the women's problematic in India in particular by the feminists leading the women's movement. While this long drawn out debate has been critical of society and the state in general and entrenched culture of patriarchy in particular it has not directly addressed the basic question how have some sections of the women's movement itself collaborated with the state apparatus and has been responsible for introducing welfare development empowerment and participation programmes for the Indian women that have instead of genuinely promoting gender balancing tended to reinforce patriarchy and reproduce the unequal gender and class relations. It consists of a total of 21 very carefully selected papers. It is organized into five parts. Part one examines the relationship between the women's problematic and the Indian State. The second part deals with the diagnoses of the women's problematic and nature of commitment made by the Indian State and its translation into reality in terms of formulation of policies and programmes designing of structures and processes indicating the presence or absence of a good fit between intentions and their actualization by the Indian ruling class. Part three analyses the impact of initiatives undertaken by the government in different sectors. Part four focuses on the impact of efforts of the autonomous organizations and communities. Given the mixed performance of both the state and women initiated initiatives part five addresses the fu.
