Gender, caste, and religious identities
The book focuses on how the notion of being 'high caste, as it developed and transformed during the colonial period, contributed to the formation of a 'middle class' among the Hindus and the Sikhs in the Punjab. This had an impact on gender relations, as caste was seen as a quality 'attached' to men, making women's relationship to it ambiguous.
