  • Worsening position of women in the medieval period.
  • Introduction of restrictive practices like Purdah and Jauhar by Muslim and Rajput com-munities.
  • ‘Purdah’ involves complete coverage of women to conceal their bodies from men.

  • Both systems limited women’s liberty, restricting their movements and decisions.

  • Examples include Raziya Sultan, the first lady Monarch of Delhi, and Chand Bibi, who defeated Akbar.
  • Bhakti movements played a crucial role in improving women’s status during this period.
