MENSTRUATION : Issues in India

By
Unfortunate Incident In February 2020, 66 girls of Shree Sahjanand Girls Institute (SSGI) in Bhuj Town of Gujarat were made to undress, by the college and hostel authorities, to check if they were menstruating. Two others who said that they were menstruating, were not stripped. After the initial probe, Darshana Dholakia, in-charge vice-chancellor of the university to which the college is affiliated, had justified the action, saying the girls were checked because the hostel has a rule that girls on their menstrual cycle are not supposed to take meals with other inmates. Analysis of the issue Unfortunate Incident Form of Untouchability: It has been argued that treating menstruating women differently amounts to a practice of untouchability. Violation of Fundamental Rights: The practice which is being followed and encouraged of exclusion of women on the basis of their menstrual status is violative of human, legal and fundamental rights of women, more particularly, those as enshrined unde...

Impact of Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, and Christianity in Indian society

By
Religion is one of the basic institutions of any society. It is a universal system that is found in every society. Religion can be understood as a social system in which there are common faith, worship, rituals, customs, and traditions. IT is IMPOSSIBLE to KNOW INDIA without understanding its religious beliefs and practices, which have a large impact on the personal lives of most Indians and influence public life on a daily basis. Indian religions have deep historical roots that are recollected by contemporary Indians. The ancient culture of South Asia, going back at least 4,500 years, has come down to India primarily in the form of religious texts.

Caste, meaning the systematic basis upon which individual játis are organized, has never perfectly conformed to either popular or scholarly models; not only do the customs and practices of játi hierarchies vary from region to region, they also are commonly interpreted in different ways even within a single village. The caste system in India is an important part of ancient Hindu tradition and dates back to 1200 BCE. The term caste was first used by Portuguese travelers who came to India in the 16th century. Caste comes from the Spanish and Portuguese word “Casta” which means “race”, “breed”, or “lineage,” but many Indians use the term “jati”. There are 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes in India , each rela...
