Purdah System – A myth of orthodox Indian society!!!!!!!

system largely exists in India. The Purdah(veil) is simply the common name for this part of the house is occupied by women, purdah is that which divides the area of ??women `s the rest of the house. The system prevents men from seeing women. Even the head of the house and his sons are not allowed to see the ladies. The ladies do not come in public life, and the worst part of the system is that its influence is not only limited to a circle of family but society also. It rises to the family circle and in the home, women can not directly influence the men outside the home.

The system is not part of ancient Hindu life at all. It ‘was dominated by Muslims. purdah is always followed in Hindu families in northern India. Although it was not originally a Hindu rule, but was adopted by the middle and upper class Hindu during the Mughal and British rule, to improve their position in the social hierarchy. Purdah (veil) system among Hindu women in parts of northern India occurred during the Mughal rule, to protect women against the invading Mughal authorities, and now that India is a country Free women should give up the veil and educate yourself. So many classes among Hindus adopted an Islamic tradition of purdah and the Victorian tradition of the chastity of women to raise their social status. I cant understand one thing that while marriage every man can see the face of a woman, but when a pious and beautiful relationship is established between a man and a woman as a father and daughter, brother and sister; then what is the purpose of this veil or Purdah?

Origin of purdah does not really matter. The starting point is that the purdah system is only part of northern India today, in, south-west or east. Why? Apparently it is in northern India, which brought suffering attacks of invaders throughout history, and it is an indisputable fact that during the war and foreign domination, women are often raped and kidnapped. That’s why the system does not vanish in some parts of North India, in fact, has become entrenched in some communities. Women as remote and denied an education. This is the custom of women perpetrated by other women, and the cycle continues.

Despite the severity of the tradition has been reduced considerably, there are still cases where incidents such as honor killings, female infanticide, sati and continue to attract the attention of the media. Women are subjected, and yet they want to go up. But social change work to a crawl, and therefore, the observers must be patient.

We should not forget that this custom is a foreign custom had been introduced in India, or rather of Hindu society, and the Victorian concept of chastity was extracted from the British themselves. Although its been six decades of our independence, still we are following the chained ideologies of British that was brought into our country.

The system of purdah, no doubt, sprang from a design worthy of the relations that should exist between the sexes. We must increase, in large part at least of anarchy, of the dangers in an age when might is right, and jealousy of women who do not take an equal place in the family and social life, or that it is considered appropriate to do so. Do not believe that when the system is currently practiced, these views are necessarily women. The time when the system has taken its scale and to its influence on society strong in some communities and some parts of India, has left the survival of mistrust and anxiety, as they have been characterized, and n is not easy in India to escape from any system that has even addressed in the popular mind.
