| In the fifteenth century, Guru Nanak laid the foundation of Sikhism based on liberal, humanistic and democratic principles. In Sikhism, there is no place for any kind of social injustice and gender inequalities. Sikh Gurus gave unique idea of women liberation and envisaged a new way of life which has provided equal rights to woman and restored her dignity and old glory. Sikhism elevated the status of women in the Indian society and played a significant role in the elimination of age-old gender bias against women. |
