    RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT
    Hinduism and Women

    Even though the Manusmriti or the “Laws of Manu” states that women should be honored in Hindu
    society, women have always been considered inferior to men in almost all aspects of life. A woman’s life
    revolves around the men in her life, to be taken care of by her father in childhood, by her husband in
    married life, and by her sons upon old age. Thus, women are relegated to performing household chores
    and are expected to become loyal to their husbands even after their husbands die. In traditional society,
    women are expected to perform sati or suttee wherein widowed women are expected to jump in the
    funeral pyre of their husbands to prove their loyalty and help save the soul of their husbands in the
    afterlife. In spite of the fact that sati was already demolished by the British in India, there are still cases
    of sati being reported in modern times.

    Question 1: Do you support the Hindu’s system towards their woman?

    Question 2: Does the tradition in Hinduism violates any law on woman?

    Question 3: What is Manusmriti?

    Question 4: What has the United Nations done for women’s right on India?
    CASTE SYSTEM IN INDIA

    The caste system is one major distinguishing feature of Indian culture that still affects modern-day
    society. A system of social class composes of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras,
    opportunities are bases upon family origin. One person belongs to a caste by being born to parents of
    that particular caste.

    This has been an issue of distinctive concern for the reformers of the caste system. While full-blown
    divisions are relatively a modern development, the caste system began to divide in thousand of castes
    that are sometimes based on occupations. A person’s diet, vocation, and residence are dictated by the
    caste where he or she belongs. There can be more that 3,000 separate castes in India.

    However, the most deplorable group are those persons who do not belong to any group-those that are
    disparagingly called as “outcasts” or “untouchables.” Also known as Dalits, they are highly ostracized in
    the society. They perform the most menial jobs, such as street sweepers, latrine cleaners and handlers
    of the dead. These jobs receive the lowest wages and have the most appalling living conditions.

    The teachings of Hinduism may have justified the status of outcastes. Their present condition may have
    been caused by their accumulated karma in the past. By fulfilling their duties and accepting their
    dharma, they may be born to a better caste in their next lives.

    Question 1: Explain the Caste System

    Question 2: Do you support the Caste System in India?

    Question 3: Does Caste System encourages discrimination?

    Question 4: Does Caste System contradicts on the Hindu’s teachings?

    Question 5: How does Caste System affects the modern-day society of India

    Performance Task # 5
