Condition of Indian Women in post-vedic period
Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The influence of male domination in society, the high inflow of foreigners, physical and biological limitations of women had gradually changed the general attitude of society towards women in the post-Vedic period in India. The society as a whole viewed her as inferior to men physically, mentally and intellectually. Patriarchal system became a prominent feature of Indian society in the postVedic period and male domination was evident in almost all fields of individual and social life. The deterioration in the position of women too was first noticed in the field of education. The women lost their intellectual freedom and the power of creativity. Ill-effects of child marriage, custom of dowry, and property-right made her life miserable. The society had cultivated an unsympathetic attitude towards widows and prohibition of their remarriage forced them to lead an ascetic way of life.
