India's Economic Growth Increases Women's Class Independence
India's economic boom has had a positive impact on the lives of women. From highly paid, salaried professionals to small scale entrepreneurs, women are becoming financially independent while getting organized.
"Investing in India's booming stock market has become part and parcel of many Indian women's lives.
Housewives, who have traditionally run the finances of Indian homes, now learn how to invest their income to get the best returns."
"For many women in modern India, learning how to invest their savings and their income is increasingly becoming a way to safeguard their financial future.
Historically, Indian women have not had much control over their individual financial existences.
Having money of their own to spend and invest as they wish was not common."
