| Examining the crucial linkages between caste and gender, undertaken, perhaps, for the first time, the author unmasks the mystiques of consensus in the workings of the caste systems to reveal the underlying violence and coercion that perpetuate a severally hierarchical and unequal society. The subordinationof women and the control of female sexuality are crucial to the maintenance of the caste system, creating what feminist scholars have termed brahmanical patriarchy. She discusses the range of patriarchal practices within the largest framework of sexuality, labour and access to material marriages that maintain the system. Erudite yet accessible, this book enables the reader to understand the interface of gender and caste and to participate in its critical analysis. | |
