5 Most Powerful Women of India

A women is a personification of beauty and epitome of  strength.She is also the creator of this world. There are innumerable hardships that a woman faces in her life. But these challenges do not act as hurdles. They don’t lose their luster because of this wear and tear, instead they increase their radiance.

There are so many women in our society that can act as an inspiration for everyone irrespective of gender. However the unfortunate part is that women are still considered the weak part of the society. Even their achievements are also unable to change this perception of people.

In every field they didn’t leave any stone unturned to prove themselves. If a land that witnessed the power of Rani Laxmi Bai, Sarojini Naidu and Indira Gandhi still doubt the capabilities of a women then it’s a matter of shame.

And the worst part is that women underestimate themselves and try to pull each other back. Many efforts have been made to change this mindset of people. This is just one of them with some amazing living examples. Hence, i present the list of 5 most powerful women of India.
