After independence during 1950-1970, in various parts of the country, women organization were established. 

Two feminist movements are as follows : 

i. Hindu Code Bill-feminist movement : 

In 1950 the members of feminist movement created a controversy on the Hindu Code Bill. The government formed a committee who produced its recommendations on the Bill. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar also cooperated with the feminist but due to opposition by the congress party, the bill could not be passed. Ultimately the bill could be passed in 1956.

ii. The anti-Tan movement : 

The anti-Tari movement was launched by the women of Dubargunta village of Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh in 1990. It was unprecedented and unique among feminist social movements. The movement shook the state when women attacked the excise jeep bringing Tan into their village. The poorer sections were spending on Tari much more than they were earning. It increased violence against women, hunger and starvation in families, and lack of education for children. Hence neoliterate women resolved to fight against arrack. This news spread gradually and women from around 5,000 villages participased. The movement slowly spread in the entire state. This was against wine contractors and government.
