Most Scholars agree that women in ancient India held a most elevated position. They had similar education as men & participated with men in philosophical debates.

During Vedic times, women so inclined wore the sacred thread and were taught the holy mantras of the Vedas. Some women who devoted their lives to scriptural study, expounded the Vedas and wrote some of the Vedic hymns.

The Vedas gives numerous examples of women philosophers,teachers, ruler & saints.The Rig Veda says; The wife & husband, being the equal halves of one substance, are equal in every respect; therefore, both should join & take equal parts in all the works.

The Vedas clearly says that we individual souls are neither male nor female. Hinduism teaches that each of us passes through many lives, both male and female.

Hinduism teaches the law of karma, which informs us that what we do to others will in turn be done to us—and that ahimsa, non-hurtfulness, must be the guiding precept of our lives.

Hence it is crystal clear in our Vedas; Hinduism gives no justification for the mistreatment of others, whether on the basis of gender or for any other reason.

Comparing the general position of women in our scriptures with those of any other religions, we will immediately discover their elevated status in Hinduism.

In Hinduism, every girls are revered as forms of Goddess Lakshmi, but boys are not very correspondingly revered as forms of Rama or Krishna.😊

In the Punjabi, Sindhi, and many other Indian communities, girls are not supposed to touch the feet of their parents; instead, on occasions like Navaratri, everyone including parents and entire family touch the feet of the girls. 😘🙏

If we check, In what major religions besides Hinduism do people worship the Supreme Being as Goddess? While the Western religions are male-centric, In our India the largest pilgrimage site is Maa Vaishno Devi.

Even In audition to above, Throughout the country north, south, east or west one can see pilgrimage places centered around the shrines of various forms of the Goddess; Durga, Parvati, Kali, Lakshmi, Saraswati,
Chamunda, Amba etc.

Rig Veda clearly says that women should be given the lead in ruling the nation and in society, and that they should have the same right as sons over the father’s property.👏👏👏

Atharva Veda says women should be scholarly, prosperous, intelligent & knowledgeable; they should take part in the politics & be the protectors of family and society.
#Tweet4Bharat

Yajur Veda says The scholarly woman purifies our lives with her intellect. Through her actions, she purifies our actions. Through her knowledge and action, she promotes virtue and efficient management of society.

With above wisdom we can look forward to d time when women wil once again be accorded respect & their rightful place in society.
Each one revered, whether she chooses to role of Wife & Mother or to become a Doctor, Scientist,Author, Astronaut, Artist or Politician.
