Abstract
Relationships are formed with the explicit purpose of providing Companionship to each other. For centuries, the crux of the problem is that of man-woman relationship along with a typical attitude of male dominance: man to rule and woman to obey, man the master and woman the slave, and above all, man for the field and woman for the hearth. One of the most basic patterns of the Indian society is the role assigned to man and to woman. For ages, woman and her images have been moulded, reshaped and reorientated by man and for man. This old, mutely flowing relationship is now under challenge.
