Read the following passage and answer the questions given below it:
At one time, in the history of India, most women knew very well how to bring up their infants and they lived a perfectly healthy life, free from diseases. The overall standard of women and children in the country was much better than those of other civilizations of that period. But ever since India was exposed to frequent invasions by foreign nations, life became unsafe and the property was unprotected, and people were forced to congregate in towns in such a compact way, that it led to awful insanitation and diseases. The traditional knowledge of domestic and personal health and hygiene was ignored. Women were confined indoors for fear of insults and a train of social and unhealthy dangers followed. It is a problem now, how we can restore the original conditions of a healthy and happy life in India. This is a socio-economic problem which needs to be given priority to bring back the original culture and restore the welfare of women and children in India.
