Status of Women in the Early Vedic Period
उत्तर
- Indian women enjoyed a comparatively high status during the early Vedic period as compared to the Later Vedic period.
- They had access to Vedic education. They were entitled to the upanayana (thread) ceremony which enabled them entry into the Gurukul system of education.
- Educated women were divided into two categories: Sadyavadhu and Brahmavadinis. Sadyavadhu pursued their education until they were married while Brahmavadinis never married and continued studying and imparting education throughout life.
- Women were considered as useful and productive members of society.
- They could participate in social assemblies (vidath). They were also permitted to choose their life partners for marriage.
- They did not have equal rights with their male counterparts as regards social and legal aspects. They did not possess the right to property.
- Vedas and Vedangas were taught to women too, but later became limited to religious songs and poems necessary for rituals.
- Some notable Vedic and Upanishadic women scholars were Apala, Indrani, Ghosha, Lopamudra, Gargi and Maitreyi.
