Women movements in India worked in two phases first women upliftment and second fight for equal rights for men and women. By studying a variety of historical documents which touch upon the Indian Women’s movement a comparative prospective will come to make modest contribution towards the construction of propositions on feminist movements in India. Through this paper my main objective will be to research women movements from all dimensions and by going through different ideological socio-religious reform movements of nineteenth and twentieth India and to study women as a subject and issue. My paper will also include how women issues remained inseparable in social reform movements during British period.
