Abstract
This article deals with the pre-colonial situation of education in
Punjab before its annexation in 1849. The centuries old indigenous
educational system was functional and prevalent among the
natives of the province. This system was heavily dependent on the
religious and traditional methods of teaching and learning. This
system lacked coherence and uniformity among the three
dominant religious communities namely Muslims, Hindus and
Sikhs. Although they differ in their approaches to impart education
to women but unanimously restrict them to homes by denying the
right of accessing education above the basic level. The role of
females in indigenous system of education in Punjab is analyzed to
underpin the salient features of the system holistically and
critically. This research article focuses on adding to the limited
nature of literature available concerning the women and the precolonial educational situation in Punjab, Indian subcontinent.
