Combining historical and ethnographic analysis, this book deals
with the making of the heterosexual imagination from the beginning
of the twentieth century to the present in the Indian context. This
unique book uses methods from anthropology, cultural studies and
history to explore the making of modern cultures of sexuality in
India. It provides an analysis of the sexual and domestic politics
of the period by focusing on the vast corpus of publications and
journals on sexology from the 1920s to the 1940s, and links Indian
activities with those in other parts of the world. The author
analyzes material that has thus far been outside the purview of
scholarly studies, namely, 'footpath pornography', magazines such
as Sexology Mirror (in Hindi), women's magazines dealing explicitly
with sex and sexuality.
