THEORIZING WOMEN : MANU’S PERSPECTIVE (original) (raw)

Indus valley civilization is not described and defined on a positive perspective, as the society failed in “theorizing women” optimistically by encouraging sexual politics. “Women”, are a subject of discussion, curiosity, subjugation, oppression and objectification in the patriarchal societies of the Indus valley civilization. The great civilization celebrates a legacy of women and her sacrifices; she is the epitome of sacrifice and a metaphorical symbol of sacrifice in the contours of the great civilization. Every woman is trained to fit into the frame of sacrifice, as a woman, she needs to sacrifice her wishes and live for the welfare of her family. The culture of India is actually theorized in golden words in the famous scripture “Manu Shashtra”. Vedas are the first recorded scriptures authored by the supreme almighty “Brahman”, hence they were never questioned and argued on. Manu being the Tenth Son of the creator was given the power to design a society; his book on the designing of a society, rules and regulations to be specially followed have been mentioned in his book “Manu Shashtra”.
