contents <p>One of the best ways to understand the spirit of<br>a civilization and to appreciate its excellences and<br>realize its limitation is to study the history of the position<br>and status of women in it. The best way to begin our<br>enquiry is to study the condition of women during their<br>childhood and to find out the general arrangement<br>made about their training and education. This will at<br>once disclose to us the concern of the society for<br>women and the steps it was taking for properly starting<br>them in life. In ancient India, the progress from prehistory to the Indus Valley Civilization did not reveal<br>the decline in the status of women. Symbolic<br>representation of the Lingam and Yoni – the male and<br>the female principles which together constitute the<br>hope of the human race, are seen in the cult of artifacts<br>of this period. Other findings suggest that women had<br>leisure and took time to adorn and enjoy themselves.</p>
