Question

List the name of the women who had achieved literacy, administration and battle skill in medieval India.
A) Veermata Jijabai
B) Maharani Yesubai
C) Maharani Tarabai
D) All of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Literacy is widely regarded as the capacity to read and write in at least one form of written communication, as standard dictionaries define. The management of public affairs is referred to as administration. A battle is a large-scale conflict between armies, warships, or aircraft.

Complete answer:
Between the "ancient time" and the "modern period," the Indian subcontinent's history is referred to as "medieval India." While some historians believe it began and ended later, it is generally thought to have occurred between the dissolution of the Gupta Empire in the 6th century AD and the start of the Mughal Empire in 1526.

Women's lives in Medieval India were difficult. They were oppressed and lacked freedom. Their world was limited to their father's and later their husband's homes. Their schooling was not prioritized. Peasant women were required to work both at home and in the fields. Their lives were difficult and devoid of love and respect. The Hindu custom of 'sati,' in which a bereaved lady had to immolate herself on her husband's funeral pyre, was widespread. On the other hand, women from the nobility had some advantages, such as the ability to receive education at home and some freedom.

Only a handful of extraordinary women had made any advancement in literacy, administration, or battle skills. Veermata Jijabai, Maharani Yesubai, Maharani Tarabai, Umabai Dabhade, Gopikabai, Punyashlok, and Ahilyabai are just a few of them.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: Scholars studying the history of Medieval India have criticized various recent historical works on the subject. The usage of the term "medieval" to describe periods in Indian history has been widely criticized, and it is likely to become less common in the future. It is believed that neither the beginning nor the conclusion of the period signifies important shifts in Indian history in the same way they do in Europe
