Abstract: Gautham Buddha, of 6th century BC, and Basava, of 12th century AD, are the two great philosophers who were the first among those who strongly questioned and protested the humiliations, degradations and exploitations that happen to women in social set-ups. They contemplated deeply on human life and explored brand new values to make it all-beautiful which they personally adopted in their own lives while never distancing themselves from the masses. They are also the first among those who gave us new thoughts about faith, God, society, body, and soul; lived without differentiating between men and women; and worked hard for a common goal with an unflinching belief in the innate goodness of mankind.
