India, that is Bharat, is the birthplace of Spiritual Wisdom, of Imagination. Be it giving the zero, the decimal system or even the most sophisticated rituals of Body Science- Yoga, to the world. It is the birthplace of the Buddha, Mahavira, the 10 Sikh Gurus; to an extent Indian civilisation has also been the only culture where Women were given the status of Deities and have been prayed to as Goddesses.

Ancient Indian texts have mentioned that wherever a women is not respected, there Lakshmi- the goddess of wealth does not stay. There is also a Sanskrit shloka that talks about the value that girls bring in comparison to boys in a way no where else is seen in the world.

दशपुत्रसमा कन्या दशपुत्रान्प्रवर्द्धयन,
यत्फलं लभते मर्त्यस्तल्लभ्यं कन्ययैकया

It says, that One daughter is like ten sons. And that the result of the bringing up ten sons is achieved only by nurturing one girl.

But of course life of a Women has never been easy at least in the Indian Subcontinent such as the pleasing quotes above.

To honour, recognise and celebrate the fortitude of some of these great women, I have compiled a list of first Indian women in several fields, as I start with the achievements of some lesser known path breaking Indian women musicians, as music for the longest time was a man’s domain.

But today, we live in a world where women take the reins, make their mark, and lead in many fields; however, the names included here in this list of first Indian women in various fields opened the gates, paved the path, and broke all the barriers that were placed in their way, allowing many more women to dream big and achieve their goals.
