Förlagets beskrivning
What are the major Hindu ideas and traditions of India that have shaped dominant conceptions of womanhood, domesticity, wifeliness, and mothering, and of India as a Hindu nation? Tanika Sarkar analyzes literary and social traditions, the elite voices and popular culture that helped create the lived reality of north India today. She explores proto-nationalist novels as well as scandal literature, rumors, women's memoirs, and the popular press of colonial times for the 'subaltern' ideas that have shaped contemporary India. Sarkar also examines the way earlier Indian religious traditions of saintliness, sacrifi ce, heroism, and warfare are being subverted or transformed by militant and fundamentalist forms of Hinduism
