Abstract This research paper critically examines the objectification of women in media, with a particular focus on Indian society. It scrutinizes how Indian cinema and advertising have historically glorified a specific body type, thereby promoting a narrow and often unrealistic standard of beauty. The paper explores the evolution of these portrayals in the context of global media influences and the persistent issue of women being valued more for their physical appearance than their talents and abilities. It highlights the significant societal impacts of such media portrayals, including the perpetuation of homogenized beauty standards and the psychological pressures exerted on women to conform to these ideals. This leads to a discussion on the broader implications, such as body dysmorphia and the undermining of women's diverse identities and capabilities. The paper also acknowledges the burgeoning movements challenging these norms, led by activists and feminists, and the slow but positive shift towards a more inclusive and empowering narrative of beauty in India. The conclusion underscores the need for continued efforts to redefine beauty standards and advocates for a more holistic view of women's worth in society.
Keywords Women's Objectification, Indian Media, Beauty Standards, Feminism, Cultural Impact, Body Image, Media Representation, Gender Equality.
