Hindu Wife, Hindu Nation: Community, Religion, and Cultural Nationalism

"[The essays] combine first-rate and pathbreaking historical research and interpretations with a vigorous critique of the theoretical turns that South Asian Studies have recently taken under the influence of Subaltern Studies and postcolonial criticism. This is no dry-as-dust history. . . . The essays are all informed by a lively sense of a passionate commitment to gender justice and progressive social change." --Dipesh Chakrabarty
