Women in Social life: An exploration through Vedic Culture

Efforts have been made to understand the dynamics of women’s status across the transformation of society and the rise and fall of the culture and adaptability with the civilization. It is observed through Vedic literature that at one time in India - in the ancient Vedic period – they enjoyed equal rights. They were given their all due respects and they played a very active and important role in running the family to manage and maintain the social order. Education was from top to bottom for all women was equally required irrespective to any kind of discrimination as during the instruction for women in Veda no evidence found which indicate for any particular Varna or class. Women Law makers like Gargi and Maitreyi not only contributed in law making but they also interpreted the law. In the paper evidences from the Veda, Mahabharata and Manusmriti have been taken to analyze the situation. Also it is found that because of their individual freedom they had their social position as high as men, and this was all through equally at all levels.

Urbanization and migration trends in India

Post independent India witnessed several transformations in various sectors. Due to unequal development and the indifferent attitude of development agencies and the Government, a considerable proportion of the rural population has immigrated to the urban places in search of better opportunities resulting in many problems such as unidentifiable population groups and slum formation. Migration from rural to urban has changed the nature and proportion of population and its supportive systems. The paper is based on Indian Census data from 1901-2001. It has been found that there is a strong association between industrialization and in-migration. Haryana state has emerged as a new and popular choice for the immigration, and Maharashtra state is the second most favourite destination by the out- migrants. By looking at the trend of the population growth it can be projected that the future population of Mumbai will be about 20 million in year 2011, while Delhi will have approximately more than 15 million inhabitants in the same year. Apart from these, many other newly emerged
cities, because of industries and other comparatively better human sustainable facilities are witnessing rapid population growth.
