Scholars have understood these acts as a response to growing concern about women's rights but, in a powerful re-reading of their history, this book traces the origins of the Hindu law reform project to changes in the political-economy of late colonial rule. The Hindu Family and the Emergence of Modern India considers how questions regarding family structure, property rights and gender relations contributed to the development of representative politics, and how, in solving these questions, India's secular and state power structures were consequently drawn into a complex and unique relationship with Hindu law. In this comprehensive and illuminating resource for scholars and students, Newbigin demonstrates the significance of gender and economy to the history of twentieth-century democratic government, as it emerged in India and beyond.Cambridge studies in Indian history and society.The Hindu Family & the Emergence of Modern IndiaFamiliesIndiaHistory21st centuryHindusIndiaSocial life and customsHindusLegal status, laws, etcPatriarchyIndiaWomenIndiaFamiliesHistoryHindusSocial life and customs.HindusLegal status, laws, etc.PatriarchyWomen306.850954Newbigin Eleanor1980-1494256UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910790615503321The Hindu family and the emergence of modern India3717685UNINA
