• As we all know that in 19th-century women discrimination and caste system was two main evil practices in the Indian society and the discrimination both women and untouchables were undoubtedly worst. The women on those times were not only exploited but also treated as a puppet by the male dominating society. Not only the women were kept backwards but also were the victims of many social evils like the practice of Sati, female infanticide, purdah system, child marriage, polygamy, etc. on the other side people discriminated peoples upon the basis of class. By the mid of 19th century, the impact of British rule on women discrimination and on the hierarchically segregated system was complex. Social-cultural awakening and impact of western education and liberal ideas made many reformers to work towards the upliftment of the society by improving the condition of women’s and lower class of the society.
