Women's Power in India THEN vs NOW | EP 10 | Immortal India with Amish | English

Описание: In this episode of Immortal India with Amish, celebrated author Amish Tripathi delves into the vital role of women in ancient Indian society. Challenging colonial narratives and misconceptions, he highlights how ancient India was among the world's most progressive societies, where women enjoyed significant autonomy and respect. From rulers like Ahilya Bai, to rishikas (equivalent to prophets) and scholars such as Gargi and Lopamudra, and even university founders like those at Vallabhi in Gujarat, women contributed profoundly to India’s intellectual and cultural legacy.
Amish explains how foreign invasions and associated violence led to a gradual erosion of this egalitarian ethos, reinforcing patriarchal structures. Colonial narratives further distorted India’s image, to label it as a barbaric society in need of ‘White Saviours’. However, modern Indian women are reclaiming their rightful place, actively participating in the nation’s progress and contributing to the unfolding story of a resurgent India.
