Status of Women in pre-medieval History

Abstract

It is well established in Indian scriptures that there should be no distinction between son and daughter in terms of family happiness, peace and affection. But if the medieval literature is discussed in terms of reality and social level then the difference in the situation of the son and daughter is clearly reflected. Education system of any country depends on the cultural traditions and awareness of public life. The physical, mental and spiritual progress of the country is also dependent on education there. Looking at the history of other world civilizations, we see that in the ancient times, the social status of women was not satisfactory. But on the contrary, when we study the society of Indian history, we see that in ancient times, the social condition of women was satisfactory from ancient times. They were entitled to education marriage property rights. And in this way, due to having many qualities, their depiction is also found in the symbol of ideal. Like men, they could live a life of Brahmacharya. And could get higher education. The history of Indian education is not complete without the study of feminine education.
