Opis

The author has tried to investigate and locate the place of women in spiritualism/ Sufism. The most important and binding question is that do women exist in the spiritual world, governed and ruled by the male dominancy or does spiritual or Sufism provide a platform for women to become the part of peace movement and to free themselves by the tyranny of social, cultural and economic oppression imposed by males chauvinism, by joining the movement of humanism specially in the post-colonial era? Since the whole phenomenon related to religious practice and theme so lets start from its base root. The history of religion starts with the history of human being. It has changed its form, shape, style of worship and belief system, but it always remained part and parcel of homo-spine .In prehistoric era of mankind, the man when it was a hunter, when it started a settled life and entered into agricultural era, than emerged the technology and industrial period of human progress started but a main characteristic always remained along with humanity and it was religion.
