liberation of women froin the yoke of custom and ingorance. The image of Indian woman is standing as loving, sacrificial and noble. 'India in every generation has produced millions of women who were never fond of fame but whose daily existence has helped to civilise the races and whose warmth of heart, self-sacrificing zeal, unassuming loyalty and strength in suffering when subjected to trials of extreme severity, arc among the glories of this ancient race.31 The ideals of Secularisın, Democracy and Socialisin laid down in our constitution are not entirely new to Indian society and people.

Indian society requires positive thinking and adjustment in the context of non-alignment and forces of international politics of our times,
