Abstract
Indian society made up of different religions and languages and every religion teaches us to treat women with respect and dignity. But in the Indian society there are many ill practices which harass women mentally and physically such as practice of dowry, pardapratha, female infanticide, sexual harassment at work place, domestic violence and other kinds of discriminatory practices. The reasons are many behind these practices but main reason can be accounted for the dominating nature of male in Indian society where women is considered subordinate to men from home to workplace. The massive entry of women into new professions, greater acceptance of premarital sex and unwed motherhood are all transforming the dynamics of a man-woman relationship at workplace. As more and more women are joining the workplace, they are becoming less tolerant to infringement of their rights especially sexual harassment at work. Disputes over the right to work with dignity at the workplace have become the new battlefield.
