In earlier times, when fewer women took to higher studies, a few among those learned ones opted for their career,with the result they were more at a disadvantage,as compared to the other sex. These disadvantages are slowly but steadily vanishing as more of the present day females go for higher education.Today you will find greater number of females in higher positions,both in government & in NGO's.One will fine a better work atmosphere & higher efficiency in those work stations staffed by higher educated females.
Prime minister Modi is working towards empowering women. This is a generational and systemic problem and it will take time. India is known for its culture, heritage, and performing arts and I would not change that in any way. I agree about doing away with hegemonic practices.
One known dilemma witnessed in Indian context is when the bride-to-be girl is better/higher educated than prospective groom........and sometimes continues in family.
Second, what relationship deterrents arise when both are on par as far as higher education is concerned?
Education is related to health and longevity, as well as income. I see education, health care, and income as a blessed trinity because they are so closely related.
