Abstract:

Feminism in India is not a singular theoretical orientation; it has changed over time in relation to historical and cultural realities, levels of consciousness, perceptions and actions of individual women and women as a group. Historical circumstances and values in India make women’s issues different from the Western feminist rhetoric. In all the three main stages of Indian history, viz. the ancient period, the medieval period and the modern age, we find that Hinduism and the role of women in particular have undergone tremendous changes. Through this paper, I would wish to study the position o

Abstract:

The heavenly religions have spoken much about the creation of man and his place in the world of creation. The position of women in these religions, known as the revelation religions, is very high. In the ancient Hindus, woman was not dignified and regarded as much as men, although in the Upanishads the woman was intrinsically valued, and man and woman are half halves that complement each other. There is no legal difference between men and women in India today, and women can engage in political, economic, and cultural activities as men. In Hinduism, woman holds a high position as a mother, from

Abstract:

Violence against women is one of the old paradoxes of Indian Society. Contradictory statements about glorifying and condemning women are found in abundant measure. In Indian society, we talk about equality, dignity and respect for women, and goes to the extent of saying that “Gods reside where women are worshipped” at the practical operational level the society. However, follows practices that are quite contrary to its preaching’s. In one go the society considers women, as goddesses and in another go as slaves, but never as human beings with dignity and self-respect. The rhetoric apart, dual s

Abstract:

This study seeks to study the social status of women in India from ancient times to the present day. It mainly studies the social status of women in each era. The findings of this study show that in every age, the status of women has always been secondary to that of men and in patriarchal societies. At the same time, the social, economic, educational, marital, cultural and religious status of women in our society is inferior to that of men. Even today, in the 21st century Indian patriarchal society, women do not have the same status as men. The findings of this study attempt to analyze the soc

Abstract:

Women’s involvement in socio-political life is a desideratum for the progress of not only the women folk but also the development of the nation as a whole. During ancient and medieval times, women from orthodox families actively participated in social activities, but their overall position and status gradually deteriorated. The Modern era meant for women ushered in during the dawn of the 19th century when social reformers paid special attention to enhance the social status of women. For instance, the promulgation of the Widow Remarriage Act, implementation of the Civil Marriage Act 1872 mentio

Abstract:

In Indian culture, Vedas and Upanishads take a prominent place and are considered as ancient. These ancient scriptures teach us that “Maathru Devo Bhava” (Web) which means a mother is thefirst god and ought to be given utmost respects. This verse proves to be absurd inMahasweta Devi’s short story “Breast Giver”. Mahasweta Devi was a Bengali Fiction writer. In her writings, subaltern predicaments occupy a central position in general and the woman in particular. Her most accolade works are Hajar Churashir Maa, Rudali, and Aranyer Adhikar. “Breast Giver” is originally written in Bengali and trans

Abstract:

Rammohun Roy was the first Indian to use the English language to communicate his views on religious, social, and political issues. He also was possibly the first to make Bengali prose his vehicle to communicate his message. The essential message he wished to convey was that of rationalism and of an anxiety to convey Western advances in knowledge, especially science, to his fellow countrymen. He thus preferred English to Sanskrit education. His fight against sati was based not only on a call for humanity but also on a reform of traditional Hinduism and improvement of the position of women. His

Abstract:

The sense of justice and equity towards women is considered among the best indicators that reflect the socio-cultural development of a civilisation. The position and status of women, as reflected in literature naturally serves as a test to gauge the sensibilities and cultivation of each associated age. It is matter of general agreement that the feminine ideals of womanhood during the early Vedic age remain exalted and exemplary. The Vedic narratives elevate the ephemeral spirit of womanhood, which progressively lost its sheen in successive stages. While the contemporary feminine polemics
