Buddhist and Gandhian reflections on the status of women / Kaur, Simerjit   Journal Article
Kaur, Simerjit Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Woman and man have been complimentary to each other in the case of creation of a new entity in general and in continuity of the world in particular. But, ever since the dawn of human civilization, the history shows that women have been treated in almost all the societies of the world as a second-rated citizen despite the fact they constitute numerically half of the entire human population. In the past when Siddh?rtha Gautama, the Buddha and Gandhiji were dwelling on this planet, the condition of the women was not better than to-day. They were decorative pieces, object of sensual gratifications of male, and almost confined to the household work. Moreover, they were deprived of education, one of the basic necessities of mental development. In such a situation, the views expressed by the Buddha and Gandhiji could be a mirror to evaluate the place of women in the society.

0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The history of children in general and that of Persian children in particular is that of the inarticulate. The social history of Iran is a neglected field although in recent decades a preponderance of material has appeared on the history of women. Aside from this no work has been undertaken on the private life of the period including childhood and family life. This article examines various aspects of the position and upbringing of children in Qajar Iran ranging from the rearing of children to their status in the family, discipline, amusements and education. This investigation attempts to cover the childhood of different sexes and social classes both in rural and urban areas. The discussion is limited to Shi'i children, the majority population of Iran.
