Reviews
'...this is a good, solid and important work on Hindu identity and gender issues in North India. Once published, it is likely to attract - and merit - a lot of attention.' - Vasudha Dalmia, Professor of Hindi, University of California at Berkeley
'...this is an exceptionally interesting piece of work which should be published quickly as an excellent example of its genre.' - Chris Bayly, Vere-Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, Cambridge
'The author has shown most successfully how gender was central to the establishment of Hindu identity, how deep-seated were the separatist and communal developments which interacted with high politics to create the division of India...this is an outstanding piece of research...' - Francis Robinson, Professor of Indian History, Royal Holloway, University of London
'Charu Gupta, in this well-developed and extremely provocative work, turns the reader's attention to the role of gender...' - Leah Renold, Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History
