The Indian Women: Myth and Reality [Hardcover]

Our Knowledge of the Ineian woman continues to be quite inadequate and in some ways superficial too. The fact that issues relating t6o womken are quite vast and of bewildering complexity has greatly hampered our understanding pf the wom,enfolk. Keepig this fact in view, experts from different branches of jumanities and social sciences have attempted to focus on certain key issues concerning the Indian woman from tjhe persective of their own discipline. The book is a somewhat new venture in cross-disciplinary studies of the Indian women. As far as possible each contributor has offered an orginal account of the current dialogue on the subject covered giveing sufficient impirical or historical depth. the volume will have achieved its purpose, if it provokes the students and reserchers alike to engage in serious and concerned reflection upon the Indian woman.
