520			_aINDIAN men have attained notoriety for their 'impeccable double standards vis-à-vis their career, social status, tradition and, above all, women. As mama's darlings, they have different sets of rules for themselves and for their wives. However, as the world hurtles towards the next millennium, the average Indian man finds himself caught in a maelstrom of conflicting emotions, compelling him to pause and rethink his attitudes and approach towards life. The traditionally safe male bastions have been shattered by the emergence of the new, aggressive, self-confident and no-nonsense woman be it at home or at the workplace. This volume seeks to unravel how the urban Indian men react to the challenges being thrown up by the new woman and reveals them in their true colours. Are they willing participants in a changing milieu or merely helpless observers? Is there an attempt to understand the changes necessary if sanity and sense have to prevail within relationships? Are traditional roles being redefined or are men only men invariably egocentric and domineering - after all? Sandhya Mulchandani, in the course of this thought- provoking volume, attempts to rip off the façade camouflaging the sordid realities of present-day Indian society, ridden by paradoxical situations created by an obsessive fixation with the past and the overwhelming desire to move into the twenty-first century.
