Abstract
Women play an important
role in Indian society. Ancient Indian women had a high social status and were
in excellent health. In terms of equality, education, marriage and family life,
caste and gender, religion and culture, women in contemporary Indian society
preserve or diminish their ancient and medieval status. Vedic women enjoyed
financial independence. Some women were working as teachers. The place of
production was the home. Clothes were made at home by spinning and weaving.
Women also help their husbands in agricultural work. In the religious sphere,
women enjoyed full rights and often participated in rituals along with their
husbands. Both husband and wife participated in religious rituals and
sacrifices. Even religious discussions saw active participation of women. The
status of women improved somewhat throughout the Buddhist period, but not much.
Women have an important place in ancient Indian literature. Many educated women
lived in ancient India. In this paper discuss the ancient, medieval and modern
sociology of the status of women in India.
