India is a male dominated society, at least when compared to other nations such as England and Australia. In both England and Australia, the women's teams have a large fan base (almost entirely made up of females) and this is missing in India. Not many of the Indian women are interested in watching sports and even here in this thread, I have seen only one female user (Sithara).
It is not only India but the whole of South East Asia has a male centric society. Women in these countries hardly watch cricket or any other sports as compared to women in Australia or England. More participation is required by the women themselves. Things have changed a lot in other sports like badminton and tennis in India but not in cricket.
I'm sure that in time this will all change. It did take Women to play cricket in Australia a long time before they received the attention they deserved and its only just been in recent years we have seen Women playing cricket world wide so its going to take time for these other countries as it did here in Australia, its not like it happened over night.
