Abstract

From about 1500 B.C there were perceptible changes in the women's status due to various reasons, among which the most important was the denial of education. The down of paranoiac period witnessed a significant change in the role of Hindu women and a concept begun to get strength that the role and activity of the women had to be limited and restrained to the basic cuds of Hindu existence. The current was flowing then in different directions. The men wanted their dominance and making the Hindu women subservient to them. Neither they were left with freedom of choice they become only the means for Hindu men to attain their end. The women lost their past status and glory. They made them to feel subjugated at men's whims. The concept of dual existence and rythm of cycle of birth, and death and rebirth, the theory of pind-dan threw the Hindu women to a place of subservience. What ever they received in the Vedic period the begun to lose it here. The women become dependent on men. The marriage also lost its independent value. It failed to secure a firm grip in the changing events of Hindu life. The role of Hindu women in conjugal right begun to be confined to the kitchen and producing of son. The daughter become un welcome to the then society.
