Abstract
The Report of the Committee on the Status of Women in India, Towards Equality, concludes that one of the unintended consequences of modernization in India is a deterioration in the conditions of Indian women. How can this situation be changed? This essay examines three approaches to address ‘the woman question≐ currently being utilized by activists in India. The three approaches are (1) forming middle-class women's associations, (2) participating in militant rural movements, and (3) developing feminist theory and practice. The impact of each approach is discussed, and the prospects for the emergence of a mass based women's movement are assessed.
