Description
This seminal work by Dayaram Gidumal presents a detailed analysis of the status and role of women in Indian Hindu society during the colonial period. Originally written as a handbook for social reformers, the text addresses the complex intersection of religious tradition, social custom, and women’s rights in India.
Gidumal examines various aspects of women’s lives including education, marriage practices, widowhood, and participation in religious and social spheres. The work reflects the reformist movements of 19th-century India that sought to modernize Hindu social practices while maintaining cultural identity.
As both a historical document and a practical guide, this book provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by Indian women and the arguments made by early social reformers advocating for gender-based social change. It remains relevant for scholars studying Indian social history, women’s studies, and the development of reform movements in South Asia.
