Abstract

This paper explores the roles that women portrayed, the contributions they made, and the obstacles encountered during the medieval period in India, from the 10th to the 18th century. Drawing light on the status of women and the complex forces in that life, the analysis done above tries to unfold the socio-political, cultural, and economic background of the period under consideration. This research studies the social and cultural landscape, assessing how the caste system, religious practices, and gender norms have affected the roles that women have played out in various diverse places. Added to this in the study is further looking into the various ways through which the very significant dynasties of Rajputs, Mughals, and Deccan Sultanates were influencing the experiences of women. Therefore, a special focus would be placed on the roles women assume in political and administrative roles, particular to their involvement in specific positions like being rulers, regent moms, military leaders, and ambassadors. In addition, the influence of royal women in courts and assemblies and their contributions to governance and strategy is also probed, which essentially provides a comprehensive knowledge of the agency that the royal women possessed throughout this period and the problems that they encountered.
