Scholars have understood these acts as a response to growing concern about women's rights but, in a powerful re-reading of their history, this book traces the origins of the Hindu law reform project to changes in the political-economy of late colonial rule. The Hindu Family and the Emergence of Modern India considers how questions regarding family structure, property rights and gender relations contributed to the development of representative politics, and how, in solving these questions, India's secular and state power structures were consequently drawn into a complex and unique relationship with Hindu law. In this comprehensive and illuminating resource for scholars and students, Newbigin demonstrates the significance of gender and economy to the history of twentieth-century democratic government, as it emerged in India and beyond.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 230mmItem Length: 153mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 430gAuthor: Eleanor NewbiginGenre: HistoryBook Series: Cambridge Studies in Indian History and SocietyRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
