Between 1955 and 1956 the Government of India passed four Hindu Law
Acts to reform and codify Hindu family law. 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.
