Today's society is very much different than it was before and that is because of the social media. It has spread awareness rapidly in society. There is a global impact of movement taking place in any part of the world. Feminists, activists, environmentalists and many more have surpassed the proliferation of making individuals realise that they think rationally and beyond borders. The advent of the Internet has made our lives easy with its prolific technologies. Interestingly, we are at the stage of an explosion of knowledge. In the form of smartphone teaching apps, kids have their teachers in their pocket. Google Voice, Alexa, is a slave to our commands. These provide a changed way of thinking about Indian society, which is now more open, welcomed values for each culture; moreover, it has begun to value our society's women. Thus, the present paper is an attempt to study the impact of social media on Indian women.
