Description

About The Book: Anant Sadashiv Altekar's The Position of Women in Hindu Civilization: From Prehistoric Times to the Present Day (1938) is a pioneering work that traces the status of women in Indian society throughout history. Altekar explores the evolution of women's roles from ancient Hindu civilization to modern times, analyzing religious, social, and cultural influences. He examines texts, inscriptions, and historical records to present a comprehensive view of women’s legal, economic, and social rights, highlighting periods of progress and decline. This book remains a crucial contribution to understanding gender dynamics in Indian history, despite some criticisms of its interpretations.
