Abstract: Both men and women are actively involved in the growth and formation of their families as well as the larger society. Indeed, one of the main issues of the global women’s movement has been the fight for legal equality. In India, women were neglected for centuries and viewed as an oppressed section of society for a long period. Historically, women have been relegated to almost all sections of society. From the cradle to the grave, women are victimized by many evils, including gender-based violence, injustice, discrimination, and subjugation. In contemporary Indian society, one of the main causes of concern is the status of women. They are threatened, tormented, harassed, neglected, and abused. These days, eve-teasing has become so common that abduction and rape are regular incidents. Working women are disheartened everywhere. They are mistreated in all places, and even at home, they are not safe. Despite rising levels of education, gender awareness, and legislation supporting women, progress has been sluggish, and the rate of violence against women is rising. In addition to ensuring gender equality, the Constitution permits the state to enact laws that favour positive discrimination. This article aims to evaluate women’s status under the Indian Constitution and how the Constitution, being the supreme document, plays a significant role in achieving gender equality in India. The paper suggests that, regardless of various laws for the equity of women, women’s empowerment is critically needed. The irony is that half of the population is ignorant of the legal protections for women’s empowerment and safety provided by the Constitution. This article tries to highlight constitutional provisions, laws, development policies, and schemes relating to women.

Abstract: India has an intellectual and cultural legacy that can be traced back to ancient knowledge systems, with profound and lasting impact on the world, ranging from the philosophical insights of the Vedas and Upanishads to the practical strategies of the Arthashastra, from the invention of zero and the decimal numeral system to the accurate astronomical calculations later transmitted to the Arab world and Europe, which laid the foundation for modern mathematics and science. Aryabhata accurately calculated the movements of the planets and the circumference of the earth, illustrating the sophistication of Indian astronomical knowledge and its historical significance.
Ayurveda has been internationalized, particularly in the area of medicine and wellness, and practices including yoga, meditation, and herbal remedies have spread globally through scholarly exchanges and cultural contacts, becoming integral to contemporary global health and well-being practices. Philosophical and ethical concepts from India, such as ahimsa (non-violence), dharma (righteous duty), and mindfulness have crossed cultural boundaries, inspiring social reform movements and global leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, who inspired the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr.
In addition, Indian arts and literature have been spread beyond national borders, with classical music, dance forms such as Bharatanatyam and Kathak, and literary traditions in Sanskrit and regional languages inspiring artistic expression around the world. Traditional ecological and agricultural practices such as rainwater harvesting, crop rotation, and sustainable forest management, still guide modern environmental strategies around the world. This paper demonstrates that Indian knowledge systems are not merely historical artifacts but are living traditions that have shaped and continue to influence global intellectual, cultural, and scientific landscapes.
