I would like to mention that Hindi is one of the official Languages of India and most popular in North India and Delhi. The title of the book will be ‘धर्म और नारी सशक्तिकरण’.
In India women heve always been suppressed, from last mant centuries they do not have the power. But when I see the ancient Indian religious society I see women always had lot of power. As a Hindu when I analyse Hinduism I see that Goddess were as powerful as Gods. Goddesses were worshipped in equality with the Gods
However with the passage to time some social and religious practices which are not mentioned in religions lead to suppression of women.
An interreligious dialogue will reveal the importance of women in various religions.
I had dialogue with religious leaders of other religions and realised that women were powerful in many other religions also.
Through this Inter Religious dialogue I want bring out those aspects of religion which empower women.

What does your religion say about women empowerment? Their views will also be published.
