Question

essay on place of women in society today

Answer 1

The position and status of women in society has been changing from time to time. In Vedic India, woman was considered to be a goddess. No religious or social function was considered to be auspicious where woman was not present. She was called the “Ardhangini’ (the better half) of man. She had a fairly high status in society. That is why in the nomenclature of couples, the name of the woman was always put before the name of man, for example, Sita-Ram, Radhey-Sham, etc. When Sita was in exile, Lord Rama had to get a golden statue of Sita built for the Yajan he performed. All this shows the high esteem in which women were held in ancient India.
