Right exercise of rights depends upon the beholder. Or, in other words, the perception of rights is subjective. Although all human beings exercise ‘equal’ rights according to the laws of most countries of the world, but, in practical level, it varies according to time, area, status and obviously gender. In social milieu, a women mind nurtured such a way that sometimes it even can’t recognize the fact that her rights are encroached and she is enduring injustice. That’s why when an intelligent girl child barred from higher education and forced to get married, she most of the time do not understand that she ‘also’ has Right to Education. Most of the times a women count everyday domestic violence as ‘natural in a family’. Even molestation she tolerates and does not report any legal case to protect her ‘prestige’. So, in a nutshell, one can say what we see in theory as ‘rights’ and ‘justice’, is not applicable in praxis or reality. This debate is the main crux of this book. In this book, we will try to analyse how rights and justice of women are conceptualized and their practicality. This book is an outcome of collective research work done by various researchers on the contemporary theory and praxis of women rights and justice in Indian scenario. In twenty-six essays, authors collectively explored situation of women in several domains including the rights of women in India, legal framework, real situation, change in time of Covid 19 pandemic period; their manifestation in public policies, domestic arena, literature and other spheres. I believe that this collection of essays can become a benchmark for the future as well as spur new research agendas and projects that will put the region into a much-needed conversation on the recent trends of women rights and justicein India. The volume is essential reading for social scientists, bureaucrats and non-governmental political activists interested in rights and justiceof women. It will also appeal to public policy analysts
