While First Wave feminism of the early 19th century was in an advanced stage of addressing women’s issue of suffrage rights and equality, raising the slogan, ‘Personal is political’, Indian women were in their helpless silence of suffering, exploitation, and discrimination. They believed that they are born to suffer and bound to be ruled by men. They were suppressed by the conflicting social status: either worshipped as Goddesses Durga or Sakti on one hand and on the other, tortured as an object of exploitation. Women, when treated objectively, are what Simon de Bouvier, calls ‘the other’. The gender division in patriarchy, is male-centered, where women’s rights and identity, are suppressed under custom and taboos. Except for a few, women in general, are not conscious of the inequality, oppression, and cruelties, they face. Women’s political history in India in its real sense begins in the Gandhian era. Gandhi has absolute confidence in women’s powers and he visualized, an ideal non-violent world, where, women are the right choice for peacemakers and leaders. She is a perfect individual who can exert immense influence on man and society. Gandhi is a feminist in his socio-political perspectives, which are allied to his patriarchal values.
