The book entitled `Status of Women in India' written by Dr. Kasim Ali Ahmed is a very useful contribution to the existing information on women, which incorporates various aspects of women in India right from the Vedic age to the modern period, and also highlight the glorious Indian womanhood. It contains a very wide survey of the existence of women in Indian society from the earliest times to the present with a full chapter devoted to woman in India as well as Assam through the various phases of historical developments. This information will be of great use for any future researcher who wishes to take a critical view of social development in India vis-a-vis gender relations. In looking for literature on women, particularly in India context, one rarely finds a consolidated work which contains information on Indian women from the earliest times to the present and also with a focus on the regional variations of the positions of women.
