Brinda Karat, CPI (M) leader, said here on Friday that the attack on the Indian Constitution by the present regime was going hand in hand with the promotion of “manuvadi” values to the detriment of women’s progress.
She was speaking at a seminar on ‘Anxieties of Democracy in Contemporary India’ organised by Union of Progressive Organisations in memory of socialist Pa. Mallesh.
Ms. Karat said never in Independent India had women faced such challenges that threatened to erode the rights which Indian women secured through their own struggles and resistance, as under the present regime.
