We are in the age of dualities, dichotomies, discriminations, exclusions and marginalizations. Species biasness (human-nonhuman), racial (black-white), sexual (male-female-transgender), caste discrimination (Brahmana-Ksatriya-Vaisya-Sudra) and male chauvinism are the order of the day. Gender plays a crucial role in the lives of both men and women. Being a woman, she is already excluded and if she is a dalit woman, she is doubly excluded. She is leveled as the second sex. Neither her voice is heard in the family nor in the community. A philosophic gaze points to the intricate relationship between gender, power and religion and their interconnectedness. Gender roles and power dynamics have long been intertwined with religious ideologies, shaping societal structures, norms, and individual identities. This paper examines how religious beliefs and practices both reinforce and challenge gender norms and power hierarchies. The intersection of gender, power, and religion is multifaceted, encompassing diverse manifestations such as the exclusion of women from religious leadership roles, the enforcement of gender-specific dress codes, the entry of specific gender to the sanctum sanctorum and the regulation of reproductive rights. Furthermore, religious institutions often serve as sites of both resistance and perpetuation of gender inequalities, reflecting broader power struggles within society. Ultimately, this paper underscores the importance of critically examining the intersections of gender, power, and religion to understand the complexities of social inequality and to foster more inclusive and equitable societies. It tries to show that how religion is more misunderstood than understood regarding women. By shedding light on these dynamics, it provides insights for scholars, policymakers, practitioners and ethical thinkers seeking to address issues of gender justice and religious pluralism in contemporary contexts.
