Today's Indian woman is increasingly professional, though this often leads to a "double burden" of work and home responsibilities.

The Indian woman is stressed. Juggling the sanskari (cultured) persona with professional ambition leads to burnout. Therapy was once a dirty word ("pagal ho gayi?"), but apps like Mfine and Practo offer anonymous counseling in regional languages. Women are now openly discussing postpartum depression and anxiety, dismantling the myth that Indian women are "naturally" self-sacrificing.
