Abstract

It is generally said that the state of development of a society can be judged from  the  status of women in  a  society . Women perform a number of   roles in  the   family  ,community  and  the wider  social  system .Their status  in  the   society  is  determined by their composite  status depending   upon   their  various  positions  and  roles  .The  position  of  women  in our society   had  not   always   been  the  same . There was  a time when women was  accorded a high  status  as in the  Rig  vedic  period but  in  the  middle  ages , her  position  was  reduced  to  that  of  a  slave .Many social evils  pertaining  to  women   cropped  up  in the  society  like  polygamy ,sati system,  Dowry,  female  infanticide etc. In  this  paper, an  attempt  has  been  made  to examine  the  contribution  of  the  Guru Nanak Devji  to  the  cause of  the  upliftment  of  women.The various verses in the Bani of Guruji clearly  reveals  that he worked  for  the  emanicipation of  women in the contemporary period.
