a short article on social status of women in I ndia from 1950s to present
Answers
Earlier in the Vedic times, women were given lots of respect and honor in the Indian society. They were equally given opportunities like men to develop socially, intellectually and morally. They were completely free to choose their own path in the life and select life partner. They were getting complete education before marriage as well as military training for their own safety. However, women status in the Indian society got deteriorated in the middle ages because of various bad practices against women.
The position of women became inferior when they supposed to be plaything of man and decoration of drawing room. Women became almost slave of man passions and forced to live behind purdah. They were left their rights of education and property. However again in the independent India, women are enjoying perfect equality with the man. They are no longer a slave of man’s passion and not living at the mercy of man. They are raising their voice and help in shaping the destiny of country.
