Traditionally, Indian women have been expected to play multiple roles – daughter, wife, mother, and homemaker. They have been socialized to prioritize family and community over personal interests, often sacrificing their own aspirations and desires for the sake of their loved ones. The concept of "Purushaartha" or the four goals of human life – Dharma (righteous living), Artha (wealth), Kama (pleasure), and Moksha (liberation) – has been central to Indian women's lives, with their roles and responsibilities revolving around these ideals.
