Women in Sri Guru Granth Sahib
Abstract
It is generally said that the state of development of a society can be judged from the status a woman occupies in a society .A woman performs a number of roles in the family ,community and the wider social system .Her status in the society is determined by her composite status depending upon her various positions and roles .The position of woman in our society had not always been the same . There was times when she was accorded a high status as in the Rig vedic period but in the middle ages ,her position was reduced to that of a slave .Many evils pertaining to woman cropped up in the society like polygamy ,sati system, Dowry, female infanticide etc. In this paper, an attempt has been made to examine the contribution of the Sikhs Gurus to the cause of the upliftment of women.The Hymns of the Gurus contained in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the Holy scripture of the Sikhs , clearly reveals that all the Gurus worked for the emanicipation of women .
