Women’s status in India has been changed several times. From the decline in status from ancient to medieval times to promotion of equality by social reformers like Savitibai Phule, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Swami Vivekananda, etc.
During the Vedic period, they had equal rights. There wasn’t any discrimination based on gender. Women were equal in all aspects of life. By studying ancient works of grammarians like Patanjali and Katayayna, we can conclude that women were sent to school. Women even had the right to choose their own husband and practice live-in relationships.
However, that changed in the medieval times and women were considered as the weaker gender. Women were also restricted from a lot of religious practices. Some women were forced to practice Sati and Jauhar. Widow remarriage was prohibited. Child marriage was common. Old men married young girls forcefully.
Social reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Dayanand Saraswati, Veeraslingam Pantulu, Pandita Ramabai, Mumtaz Ali, Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar, etc supported equality for women and eradicate problems like social problems like Sati, child marriage, dowry, etc.
