- Description
- First published in 2017. The author presents new research examining how different groups in India conceptualise violence against women and girls, revealing beliefs around religion, caste and gender that render aggression socially acceptable. She also analyses the role that neoliberalism, and its corollary consumerism, play in reducing women to commodity objects for barter or exchange and can converge unexpectedly to normalise violence against women. Due to these complex and overlapping factors, rates of violence against women in India have actually increased despite decades of feminist campaigning. This book gives an overview of Indian gender politics and gender-based violence, but also presents new data and methodologies which have practical implications for researchers and policymakers worldwide.

- Description
- In this book a number of India's leading feminist economists, historians, political scientists, journalists and anthropologists investigate the contemporary situation of women in India. The volume focuses on four domains: the cultural, the social, the political and the economic. The writers argue that despite apparently positive indicators of progress in education and paid employment, women's status has not improved. They point out that steadily falling sex ratios even show a growing bias against the female child.

- Description
- The essays selected for this volume have emerged in the context of a renewed national debate about the politics of caste inaugurated by the Mandal decision in 1989, a decision that produced a transformation of the political debates around caste and identity. It reiterated demands for social justice by dalits (lower than the lowest caste) and lower-castes that has consequently changed their politicl relationship to upper-caste elites.
