This book covers a range of issues and phenomena around
gender-related violence in specific cultural and regional
conditions. Using an interdisciplinary approach, it discusses
historical and contemporary developments that trigger violence
while highlighting the social conditions, practices, discourses,
and cultural experiences of gender-related violence in India.
Beginning with the issues of gender-based violence within the
traditional context of Indian history and colonial encounters, it
moves on to explore the connections between gender, minorities,
marginalisation, sexuality, and violence, especially violence
against Dalit women, disabled women, and transgender people. It
traces and interprets similarities and differences as well as
identifies social causes of potential conflicts. Further, it
investigates the forms and mechanisms of political, economic, and
institutional violence in the legitimation or de-legitimation of
traditional gender roles. The chapters deal with sexual violence,
violence within marriage and family, influence of patriarchal
forces within factory-based gender violence, and global processes
such as demand-driven surrogacy and the politics of literary and
cinematic representations of gender-based violence. The book
situates relevant debates about India and underlines the global
context in the making of the gender bias that leads to violence
both in the public and private domains. An important contribution
to feminist scholarship, this book will be useful to scholars and
researchers of gender studies, women's studies, history, sociology,
and political science.
