India is an ancient land with a living and unbroken traditions of diverse religions, cultures and faiths. Women have always been a vital link in this process from the days of the Harappan Civilization. When one tries to appreciate and understand the women of historic ancient India, it is realized that customarily the position of women in ancient India is judged by analyzing the famous female protagonists depicted in the literary works produced by stalwarts or relying on the norms laid down in scriptures of different times, thus overlooking the ‘real’ women. Their patronages, contributions and personal achievements to the making of the Indian society were rarely brought to light. There is a need to re write the history of women in ancient India in general and in Deccan in specific. |
