This book examines women and society in India during 600-1200 CE
through epigraphs. It offers an analysis of inscriptional data at
the pan-India level to explore key themes, including early
marriage, deprivation of girls from education, property rights,
widowhood and sati, as well as women in administration and
positions of power. The volume also traces gender roles and agency
across religions such as Hinduism and Jainism, the major religions
of the times, and sheds light on a range of political, social,
economic and religious dimensions. A panoramic critique of
contradictions and conformity between inscriptional and literary
sources, including pieces of archaeological evidence against
traditional views on patriarchal stereotypes, as also regional
parities and disparities, the book presents an original
understanding of women's status in early medieval South Asian
society. Rich in archival material, this book will be useful to
scholars and researchers of ancient and medieval Indian history,
social history, archaeology, epigraphy, sociology, cultural
studies, gender studies and South Asian studies.
