The document discusses the history of female education in India from ancient times to the present. It notes that ancient India saw women as sages and scholars, while the medieval period was a "black out" with little female education. During British colonial rule, some progress was made to educate women. Today, the independent nation aims for universal literacy, though Kerala and Mizoram are the only states that have achieved this goal for women. Literacy rates for women have increased since 1951 but still lag behind men. The document argues that education is a fundamental right for all children in India and that eliminating illiteracy is key to success.
