In recent years, concepts like WAD (Women and Development) and GAD (Gender and Development) have gained increasing traction, with appropriate responses from policy planners. However, a great gap still exists between policies and practice, as is evident from the several papers included in the current volume. Lack of gender equality and equity is all pervasive as illustrated by case studies in this book whether it be in China s megacities or its rural countryside, inequalities exist in societies as diverse as those of Himalayan ascetics to the tribal forests and badlands in Central India and Odisha, from the fertile plains of Punjab to materially developed Japan. The papers also discuss policy implications contributing to women s development and empowerment in a variety of settings, and argue for active state policies for women s development and empowerment.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Sikkim has been a region of anthropological interest since the 1930s when Geoffrey Gorer and John Morris did their fieldwork among the Lepchas of Dzongu, north Sikkim. While it found mention in various writings of travellers and administrators during the British period, there is a dearth of literature even today on the rich heritage of Sikkim. This collection of twenty-five essays presented first at the international conference on Cultural Heritage of Sikkim, organized by the Department of Anthropology, Sikkim University, Gangtok goes a long way in breaching this gap. The book will be of immense interest to scholars and students of Anthropology, Sociology and Cultural Studies and will lead to new research on the people and the places of Sikkim and India's North-East.
