Our knowledge of the Indian woman continues to be quite inadequate and in some ways superficial, too. The fact that issues relating to women are quite vast and of bewildering complexity has greatly hampered our understanding of the womenfolk. Keeping this fact in view, experts from different branches of humanities and social sciences have attempted to focus on certain key issues concerning the Indian woman from the perspective of their own discipline. The book is a somewhat new venture in cross-disciplinary studies of the Indian woman. As far as possible each contributor has offered an original account of the current dialogue on the subject covered, giving sufficient empirical or historical depth. The volume will have achieved its purpose, if it provokes the students and researchers alike to engage in serious and concerned reflection upon the Indian woman.
