About the Book
This book revisits and interrogates the central tenets of the woman question as it emerged in colonial India, offering a critical examination of its lasting influence on both historiography and contemporary discourse. It focuses on the key issues of women’s access to resources, ritual rights, and their roles within the family, specifically highlighting the experiences of an often-overlooked category—upper-caste/class women.
Through a deep exploration of the historical and sociological implications of these themes, the book uncovers the complex intersections of gender, caste, and class in shaping women’s lives during colonial India. By revisiting these issues, it challenges the dominant narratives that have historically marginalized upper-caste/class women and opens up new avenues for understanding their role in Indian society.
This work is essential for scholars and students of history and sociology, offering valuable insights into the evolving discourse around women’s rights and positions within Indian society, both in the colonial period and beyond.
