Indian #woman were cultivators, astrologers, mothers, artisans, since beginning of civilization untill 2nd millennium bce (the archaeological records are missing for next 1.5k years for unknown reasons)

The earliest God was a female in Indian civilization. Karai Devi or Kali Mata has been revered for 11000 years in India.

In this 4500 years old harappan seal you will notice a female deity and seven sub deity.

Woman were cultivators and farmers. While there is no record of man's profession 4500 years before . They could have been stray as they seem today.

Woman were exporters and they settled abroad in UR in trading colonies alongwith their children. Again no trace of males in these colonies 4000 years before.

Magathenese in his travelogues noted the freedom Indian woman enjoyed like no one can ever think of.
@devduttmyth #Archaeology
I already challenged for a parallel example of woman freedom other than India. Look at these bare chested females enjoying their lives peacefully 2200 years ago

Hinduism Buddhist sect curtailed some rights of woman. Though, they tried to balance out by other means.

Do you notice any inhibition, lajja, haya, fear on female in this couple from 2200 years old sculpture ?

Indian woman held more rights than their male counterparts. They roamed upper bared without fear of their chastity being razed untill 1000 ce.

Nath, fingure rings, saree, are shackles Indian woman happily wore.
I am sure they will wear it consciously
@devduttmyth #Archaeology
Despite my days effort, i couldn't find your claim of Mahant restricting Indian woman's choice to dress. Please share any link so we can address it accordingly.
@devduttmyth #Archaeology
This startling and contrasting pic may throw some light on status of Indian woman in Hindu vs Moollaa reign
1st pic during Hindu rulers, 2nd pic after series of invasions

Last but not the least don't block me. Let us debate on issues relating to our matri and matribhumi. Let's work together on nation building leaving aside our differences 🙏
Hope you will find above information in right spirit
