Indian Women Writing

Posted on by Sushil Rudra

INTRODUCTION :

Indian soil produced so many great writers like Valmiki ,Kalidas ,Rabindranath and so on.Rabindranath is the latest . We can compare him with Shakespeare, Keats or Wordsworth. I think he is more genius than any world class writers.Togore produced a lot in every branch of literature.

INDIAN WOMEN WRITERS :

But comparatively We can not refer any women writer like Rabindranath in India. Though Indian writings of women are highly enriched like male writers. Actually modern India has produced number of eminent writers like Ashapurna Devi,Mahasweta Devi,Kamala Das ,Mahadevi Verma ,Krishna Seboti ,Ismat Chugtai etc. I like to discuss the literary works of women of different parts of Indian provinces in order to get the different socioeconomic problems which they had to face in day to day life struggle.

INDIAN DIVERSITY :

India is vast country and its culture, lifestyle ,food habit, language are various. The problems of Kashmir’s women and Northeast are different. Yes , both the provinces are disturbed due to terrorist activities and it has been going on since independence of India and Pakistan. Kashmir is now a province of India.

DIVERSITY IN LANGUAGES :

But some months ago it was not . The local people of Nagaland ,Mizoram don’t think that they are Indian. Besides other than Hindi ,Bengali ,Gujarati, Punjabi, Marathi ,Oriya etc others languages are from Dravidian and Votchiniya ,even the language of Manipur ,Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh are local tribals languages. In Kashmir, some writers followed Urdu and English other than Kashmiri language. So it’s a mammoth tasks to depict all the works of Indian Women Writings.

WHAT YOU COME TO KNOW :

I would try to discuss about selected women writers of all provinces of Indian States who has written in prominent languages like Hindi ,Bengali, Punjabi, Malayalam, Tamil,Telugu, Kannada etc. Before that we are to discuss about the position of women in Indian society from Vedic period to modern times.

DIGNITY OF WOMEN :

A.S.Altekar wrote in his book’The Position Of Women in Hindu Civilization’: The advancement and amelioration of a country depends on the betterment of its women’s dignity and the position which she belongs. Indian society is totally different from Western country’s societies. Our society is to some extent conservative. Though at present women are getting freedom than before as the education spreads in all section of the society.

WOMEN POSITION IN ANCIENT INDIA :

We came to know from our ancient scriptures that women’s position in vedic period was in high esteem and they’d proper education. Women like Moitryee , Khana had the profound knowledge in scriptures, economics and sociology etc.They were being regarded in the vedic society.It was continued up to the first half of Buddhist era.Gradually subsides it this era.

DECLINING WOMEN POSITION:

Women position extremely diminished when Muslims ruled our country. In this period women had to confine into the four walls . They were captivated in purdah and not given education. But it has changed during colonial periods.Vidyasagar and Drinkwater at the first time organized a girls school in north Calcutta.
