Abstract
India, a country which is believed to be a land of primitive civilizations, now reels under an image where a human gender is exploited, exposed to cruelty and inhumanity, tortured in acts to the extent of calling such acts” BARBARIC’ also talks, hand in hand, about the welfare of such exploited gender, it is high time to establish the facts in actuality.
A country where goddess are worshipped and posed as ‘WOMAN”, her human face is made red with inhuman activities. Our country gave the art of living to the rests but now it seems such an art is dying in our country itself. The causes are, it seems, clear but at times, they are blurred.
Woman, in ancient period(golden age as it is called), was the pillar of civic wisdom, authority over art, morality etc and was involved with utmost respect, in all such social, economic and political activities where -by her role was majorly accepted and respected. Rights flowed naturally to her with such effect that she used to protect the rights of others in social bonding with a taste of authority. Of late, this taste of authority for a woman became a cause of concern for some segments of the society and with the passage of time, taste of Authority was turned into taste in Cruelity for her.
To peep in the past to recoshade actuality with reality, first three time periods or YUG as divided by the followers of Sanatan Dharma i.e.Sat Yug, Treta Yug and Dwapar Yug, clearly and strongly indicate (in such texts believed to be written in these periods like smrities, Vedas to name a few) the nature and colour of respect and high positions which women in these era, enjoyed.
Today, in the flow of Kalyug,and so called modern practices, the position of woman in our society is to be Re-established and Re-ensured. The role of Judiciary and government with the help of existing laws which in the past, was embodied in Nripa (king), is important as never before. Also the actions of responsible social and political bodies must be ascertained. The study/research is framed in the light of above observations in nut-shell.
