ब्राह्मण पितृसत्ता, ब्राह्मण पितृतंत्र

पितृसत्ता and पितृतंत्र are given for partriachy in Eng-Hindi dictionaries by Fr. Camil Bulcke and Dr. Hardev Bahri.
Peer comment(s):

agree chaman4723 : This translation is the only appropriate translation. and has been used by Social scientists in Hindi. "Matra satta" which is said to hvae been in practice in ancient India, has its English equilant "matriarchy" Hence the corrollary.

ब्राह्मणवादी पुरूष सत्तात्मकता

For Patriarchy I have deteberately avoided the word "Pitra" because it seems archaic in the present scenario. 'Patriarchy' stands for a society controlled by men where men use their power to their own advantage. Since this definition of patriarchy essentially denotes male dominance, I have used the word ''Purush Sattatmakta" for it.
Peer comment(s):

neutral keshab : Your logic is right but here we discuss languages which defines male dominance as "Patriarchy"and we can translate originally the word as "पितृतन्त्र ".isn't it?

Thanks for the response Sir but I didn't understand the point you wish to bring forward. Instead of just lifting the meaning from a dictionary, I tried to give a more lucid equivalent to ''Patriarchy' which has conveyed the sense of Purush Varchasvata
agree C.M. Rawal : ब्राह्मणवादी पुरुष सत्तात्मकता (but with correct spellings of पुरुष i.e. with the short vowel instead of the long vowel used)

Thank you sir...I will correct the spelling error in future.
