In Hindu Mythology, when the gods nearly lost to the demons, the gods together created the mighty Goddess Durga, who managed to defeat the evil and maintain the balance between the good and evil.

The thing to be noticed here is that most of the male gods gave their weapons and powers to create a Goddess and not a God, who managed to destroy the power, which they had not been able to end. God Shiva is one of the main gods of Indian mythology but yet Goddess Kali is worshiped when she stepped on Shiva. Any other God or Goddess would have been destroyed (for example: Shiva in anger had cut Ganesha's head, which was later replaced by that of an elephant). See, mythology agrees that women are possibly more powerful than men because of their dual characters of peace and anger.

Great Indian personalities like Raja Ravi Verma had created many images, which were those of women and their daily life. Dramatists like Rabindranath Tagore have depicted women in many spheres of life in popular plays like 'Chandalika'. Also works of Kailashbhashini Debi and Rashsundari Debi have gained popularity during Independence struggle.

Thus, I can conclude that accept it or not, we Indians have always been feminist of top level and have promoted the female worship along with our rich culture, which have spread throughout the globe.
