In Bangalore, India women are taking a stand and becoming more independent. Just a couple of years ago these women would have been forced to live with their families then go straight to their husband's home without any say in the matter. However, many women of this area are now becoming well educated and finding jobs in the city that enable them to have their own independence. These women are able to help support themselves without a husband. Due to opportunities in education and the work place they are able to live lives of choice. However, choices about marriage are still pressured greatly by parents. This will most likely take time to change because it has a been such as lare part of Indian tradition for many years. I'm personally ecstatic for these women because they are finally able to haves some freedom in their lives! Hopefully over the next couple of years their independence will grow helping them become the individuals they want to be!
