For centuries women in India have been struggling for freedom and the right to be treated fairly. The time of Medieval India this was a "dark age" for them. The Muslims came and invaded the country and brought their own way of life. How the Muslims treat women was very different from what they were used to. They treat women as property of their father, brother, or husband and because of that they had no power of their own. The Muslims believe in polygamy and they took any women on the street they wanted and called them theirs. They make the women cover up with veils, because of that people started to see the women as useless and burden because they had to be protected. And this was the start of how women were and are treated. ( Mapsofind.com, 1999 )
Women don't just have health and education issues, they are also being treated very poorly. Women are abused physically and mentally.
