Description
This unique book attempts to study Sikh history and culture, lauded for its militaristic, hyper-masculine character by India's colonial rulers, from a feminist perspective, an approach that is unprecedented. Beginning with early Sikh history, the author explores 'male/female' constructs and demonstrates in her analysis of the Singh Sabha movement that gender politics (as based on Victorian notions of gender) were pivotal to this endeavour.
