Items related to Feminism in India (Issues in Contemporary Indian Feminism)
This collection is an invaluable overview of the rich history of Indian feminism. It brings together the writing of prominent Indian academics and activists as they debate feminism in the context of Indian culture, society and politics, and explore its theoretical foundations in India. The inevitable association with western feminism, the status of women in colonial and independent India, and the challenges to Indian feminism posed by globalization and the Hindu Right are discussed at length. It deepens our understanding of why, despite the existence of legal and constitutional rights, women are subject to oppressive practices like dowry.

Review:
"The collection services as a useful reminder of the shaping of varied strands of feminist theory and practice in the country, their synergies and antagonism and recalls the contexts that have been so vital to this process."- Praveena Kodoth, Economic & Political Weekly; "Together the essays in Feminism in India testify to the fact that a vigorous if uneven women's movement has been in existence for several decades-including interventions by mass organizations, state sponsored initiatives as well as 'autonomous' groups and that it is imperative to understand that variety of conceptual responses alongside this activism. Indeed, theorizing about feminism in India needs to be related to the fact that in India "we are dealing with a complex social reality which is characterized by enormous variety in the objective conditions of women"...Given the paucity of such compilations, which provide easy access of reference material to students and researchers, this collection makes an important contribution and the Series ...promises to provide some useful monographs that facilitate a more textured understanding of feminism in India."- Maina Chawla Singh, Asian Journal of Women's Studies
