\u00a0between \u00a0500 \u00a0A. \u00a0D \u00a0to \u00a01500 \u00a0A.D) \u00a0proved \u00a0to \u00a0be \u00a0highly disappointing for the Indian women, for their status further deteriorated during this period.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Medieval India was not women&#8217;s age it is supposed to be the &#8216;dark age&#8217; for them. When\u00a0 foreign conquerors\u00a0 like Muslims\u00a0 invaded\u00a0 India\u00a0 they brought\u00a0 with them\u00a0 their\u00a0 own culture.<\/strong> For them women was the sole property of her father, brother or husband and she does not have any will of her own. This type of thinking also crept into the minds of Indian people and they also began to treat their own women like this. One more reason for the decline in women&#8217;s status and freedom was that original Indians wanted to shield their women folk from the barbarous Muslim invaders. As polygamy was a norm for these invaders they picked up any\u00a0 women they\u00a0 wanted and kept\u00a0 her\u00a0 in\u00a0 their\u00a0 &#8220;harems&#8221;. In\u00a0 order to\u00a0 protect\u00a0 them Indian<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>women started using &#8216;Purdah&#8217;, (a veil), which covers body. Due to this reason their freedom also\u00a0 became\u00a0 affected.<\/strong> They\u00a0 were not\u00a0 allowed to\u00a0 move freely\u00a0 and this lead\u00a0 to\u00a0 the\u00a0 further deterioration of their status. These problems related with women resulted in changed mindset of people. Now they began to consider a girl as misery and a burden, which has to be shielded from the eyes of intruders and needs extra care. Whereas a boy child will not need such extra care and instead will be helpful as an earning hand.\u00a0 Thus a vicious circle started in which women was at the receiving end. All this gave rise to some new evils such as Child Marriage, Sati, Jauhar and restriction on girl education.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18342 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/cover-4-300x191.png\" alt=\"Status of women in the Medieval India, Best Sociology Optional Coaching, Sociology Optional Syllabus.\" width=\"601\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/cover-4-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/cover-4-1024x653.png 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/cover-4-150x96.png 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/cover-4-768x490.png 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/cover-4-360x230.png 360w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/cover-4.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sati\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Sati:<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The ritual of dying at the funeral pyre of the husband is known as &#8220;Sati&#8221; or &#8220;Sahagaman&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>According to some of the Hindu scriptures women dying at the funeral pyre of her husband go straight to heaven so it\u2019s good to practice this ritual.<\/strong> Initially it was not obligatory for the women but if she practiced such a custom she was highly respected by the society.

Meaning that animals, illiterates, lower castes and women should be subjected to beating.

Nuniz, another famous traveler to the South also agrees to it and says that women were employed in writing accounts of expenses, recording the affairs of kingdom, which shows that they were educated. There is no evidence of any public school in northern India but according to famous historian IbnBatuta there were 13 schools for girls and 24 for boys in Honavar. There was one major evil present in South India of medieval time. But\u00a0 it was the\u00a0 custom of\u00a0 <strong>Devadasis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Devadasis was a custom prevalent in Southern India. In this system girls were dedicated to temples in the name of gods and goddesses.<\/strong> The girls were then onwards known as <strong>&#8216;Devadasis&#8217; meaning servant of god<\/strong>. These Devadasis were supposed to live the life of celibacy. All the requirements of Devadasis were fulfilled by the grants given to the temples. In temple they used to spend their time in worship of god and by singing and dancing for the god. Some kings used to invite temple dancers to perform at their court for the pleasure of courtiers and thus some Devadasis converted to Rajadasis (palace dancers) prevalent in some tribes of South India like Yellamma cult,(Sharma,2002).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15254\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-300x50.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 822px) 100vw, 822px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-150x25.jpg 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-768x128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-1536x256.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-2048x341.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-scaled.jpg 2560w\" alt=\"Symbolic Interactionism Sociology, Symbolic interaction, meaningful symbols, social interaction, human behavior, language, dramaturgical analysis, labeling approach, sociological theories, critical analysis.\" width=\"822\" height=\"137\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To master these intricacies and fare well in the\u00a0<strong>Sociology Optional Syllabus,<\/strong>\u00a0aspiring sociologists might benefit from guidance by the\u00a0<strong>Best Sociology Optional Teacher<\/strong>\u00a0and participation in the\u00a0<strong>Best Sociology Optional Coaching.<\/strong>\u00a0These avenues provide comprehensive assistance, ensuring a solid understanding of sociology\u2019s diverse methodologies and techniques.<\/p>\n<p><strong>META TAGS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>child marriage, Devadasis, Indian history, INDIAN SOCIETY, Indian women, Jauhar, Medieval India, Purdah, Sati, Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), Widow Remarriage<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Vikash_Ranjans_Classes_for_Sociology\"><\/span><span id=\"Why_Vikash_Ranjan%E2%80%99s_Classes_for_Sociology\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Why Vikash Ranjan\u2019s Classes for Sociology?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Proper guidance and assistance are required to learn the skill of interlinking current happenings with the conventional topics.\u00a0<strong>VIKASH RANJAN SIR\u00a0<\/strong>at\u00a0<strong>TRIUMPH IAS<\/strong>\u00a0guides students according to the Recent Trends of UPSC, making him the\u00a0<strong>Best Sociology Teacher<\/strong>\u00a0for\u00a0<strong>Sociology Optional UPSC.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At Triumph IAS, the\u00a0<strong>Best Sociology Optional Coaching<\/strong>\u00a0platform, we not only provide the best study material and applied classes for\u00a0<strong>Sociology for IAS<\/strong>\u00a0but also conduct regular assignments and class tests to assess candidates\u2019 writing skills and understanding of the subject.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_The_Best_Sociology_Optional_Teacher_for_IAS_Preparation\"><\/span><span id=\"Choose_The_Best_Sociology_Optional_Teacher_for_IAS_Preparation\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Choose\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>T<strong>he Best Sociology Optional Teacher\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/a>for IAS Preparation?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the beginning of the journey for<strong>\u00a0Civil Services Examination\u00a0<\/strong>preparation, many students face a pivotal decision \u2013 selecting their optional subject. Questions such as \u201c<strong><em>which optional subject is the best?<\/em><\/strong>\u201d and \u201c<strong><em>which optional subject is the most scoring?<\/em><\/strong>\u201d frequently come to mind. Choosing the right optional subject, like choosing the\u00a0<strong><em>best sociology optional teacher<\/em><\/strong>, is a subjective yet vital step that requires a thoughtful decision based on facts. A misstep in this crucial decision can indeed prove disastrous.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ever since the exam pattern was revamped in 2013, the UPSC has eliminated the need for a second optional subject. Now, candidates have to choose only one\u00a0<strong>optional subject for the UPSC Mains<\/strong>, which has two papers of 250 marks each. One of the compelling choices for many has been the sociology optional. However, it\u2019s strongly advised to decide on your optional subject for mains well ahead of time to get sufficient time to complete the syllabus. After all, most students score similarly in General Studies Papers; it\u2019s the score in the optional subject &amp; essay that contributes significantly to the final selection.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><em>\u201cA sound strategy does not rely solely on the popular<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Opinion of toppers or famous YouTubers cum teachers.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">It requires understanding one\u2019s ability, interest, and the relevance of the subject, not just for the exam but also for life in general. Hence, when selecting the best sociology teacher, one must consider the usefulness of\u00a0<strong><em>sociology optional coaching<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0<strong>General Studies, Essay, and Personality Test.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The choice of the optional subject should be based on objective criteria, such as the nature, scope, and size of the syllabus, uniformity and stability in the question pattern, relevance of the syllabic content in daily life in society, and the availability of study material and guidance. For example, choosing the\u00a0<strong><em>best sociology optional coaching<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0can ensure access to top-quality study materials and experienced teachers. Always remember, the approach of the UPSC optional subject differs from your academic studies of subjects.
