YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW


Satyug Era – The era of divinity, purity, and morality where there was no difference between caste, religion and sex. It is said that in Ashoka’s period (300 B.C) if a beautiful woman wishes to go during night carrying a basket with lots of gold than she can easily reach her destination without any harm or fear. At that time women were also played excellent role in education. A lady named Gargi had ‘shastrart’ with ‘rishi munis’ (knowledgeable saints). During Later Vedic period woman started loosing her hold in the society. She was not allowed to attend any public meeting still she had respectable image. 

Gradually the whole era turned into male dominating society which brought many evil practices like sati system, dowry system and female feticides etc. It was peak time of dominance and exploitation. People like Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Swami Dayananda came up and abolished all evil practices. As a result at present women is enjoying respectful position but situation is not same at all parts of country. Still there are some areas where a woman is being tortured physically, mentally and emotionally. Situation of female is like spring which is now compressed by male society. If you press a spring for a long period then there will be a time when it will jump off. Same situation might also happen with female section in the society. After a long exploitation they might jump off and lead the society. Dominance is always dangerous whether it is adopted by male or female. This time another Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Swami Dayananda may come and teach about equality which in result provide era of serenity like satyug or we can also say that satyug will be back.
