Main Article Content
Abstract
As human beings we live in a society and every society is formed by both living and non-living things. Human beings are said to be the most intelligent amongst the living creatures. They want to exercise their legitimised power across the world by dint of intelligence they possess. Generally human beings get divided into two sections on the basis of the sex, namely- the male and the female, resulting in suppression of the latter over the former. Because in a male dominated society, the female are being considered as a vulnerable group in our society. Hence, Gender concept plays a vital role for this discrimination. Gender is an artificial social stratification for the exploitation of women by their counterpart. But, it is not desirable in behalf of the good heath of an ideal social order, which is again detrimental to ensuring a just society characterized by equality and justice. Because the process of development of a society will remain an incomplete task until both the sections are equally empowered. Equality is an essential lifeboat for the holistic development of a society. Gender inequality means partial treats towards male and female in the area of Social, Political, economic and so on. The present study will be held on the capital of Tripura that’s means Agartala. Here the researcher will take equal number of sample from both the male and the female to find out the causes of gender inequality at Agartala in particular and in Tripura in general.
