The lifestyle of Indian women is currently the most dynamic force in Indian society.

Once limited to teaching or nursing, women now dominate medicine (over 50% of medical students are women), banking, IT, and media. The "Ladies Compartment" of the Mumbai local train is a microcosm of this: a space packed with female doctors, beauticians, corporate VPs, and domestic helpers, all commuting together. The 9-to-5 lifestyle has forced a shift in domestic roles. Husbands are increasingly (though not uniformly) helping with childcare and cooking.
