In India, the position of mother is considered as the highest and her role is crucial in upbringing the family and society, but in history of India except very few names like Gautani, Jijabai and so on, where is the mother, her role, who is the mother and why mother was not highlighted for her contribution to society? All these questions are arising again and again in my mind and heart. In this patriarchic historical writing society of India only fathers are highlighted as Father of Indian Renaissance, Father of the Nation, Father of Social Revolution,1 Father of Modern India and so on. I started researching mother and her role by revisiting the pages of Indian History and I found a clue to my questions and there are women who played a major role in the progress of society. In 19" Century India we have social and religious reform movements and this period is called as Indian Renaissance, during this period Savithribai Phule come forward and played a crucial role of mother to uplift the society for the progress of the complete nation.
