Position of women in India has remained a topic of concern since ancient times. They can be the perfect example of home makers. With their incomparable quality of calmnes of mind, they can easily handle even toughest situations. Indian women are completely devoted to their families. They're preached in the names of Goddess Saraswati, Goddess Durga, Parvati and Goddess Kali.

Their condition remains unchanged even during the modern times with only little changes. In India, women were never given any right of liberty and equality. Their condition becomes even worse when they give birth to girls. Men treated them in a humiliated manner. They were not only permitted to step outside their house but also abstained from being educated. They were also supposed to eat after their husbands or sometimes to eat their husband's leftovers.

It's said during the ancient India, Women enjoyed equivalent status and right like their males counterparts. In addition they were properly educated in the early Vedic period. These referces are available from the works of Grammarians such as Katyayana and Patanjali. Women also had the freedom to select their husbands. This system was known as 'Swamber.' In fact during this time, Women had superior position than the males.
