This paper titled “A comparative discourse on the status of Indian women in light of the Quran and Manusmriti, aims at analysing the status of women portrayed in Hinduism and Islam based on Manusmriti and the Quran. No religion in their core, teaches that men and women are unequal rather they advocate that human beings are the creation of God. Both are equal before God. But today what we see and experience is definitely otherwise. In many religious traditions, women are discriminated, degraded and even she does not find her space in the religious circle. . Once we analyse the religious history of each religion, we find that it is a product of historical evolution. Distortions have been taken place in the original spirit of the religious doctrines in the course of the history. Androcentric background of the sacred books of Hinduism and Islam and the historical interpolations caused the degradation of women in the historical process. This paper would analyse the similarities and differences on the status of women found in both religions. This paper can be divided into three sections. The first section discusses the status of women in Manusmriti and the second section deals with status of women in the Quran. The final section is a solution for the age old problem of injustice and discrimination against women through modern education. It is being substantiated by citing few examples from India. Through education she finds her own space in the society. Keywords—status of women, Manusmriti, Quran, Education, India, Hinduism, Islam.
