=== Women's rights ===

Sarkar observes that in every sphere of life, men have either restricted the rights of women or made the exercise of those rights subject to men's whims. According to Sarkar, this bias is not innate to human beings. Primitive humans did not behave like this nor is such conduct so blatant in the more primitive societies of the modern world. Rather, this is a condition that has evolved over history, beginning with a voluntary ceding of rights to men by women and a gradually increasing abuse of those rights by men. Today, with women repudiating this arrangement, Sarkar argues that it is not up to men to grant women's rights but rather to recognize women's rights.<ref>Sarkar, Prabhat Ranjan (1959).
