This important volume contributes substantively to the current debate on the role of gender studies in the overall context of the development of Indian sociology. In the theory and practice of the women's movement in India as well as the study of gender-related issues, the role of the state is seen as problematic. The state is vested with the responsibility for engineering social reform; however, it is seen as furthering the sectional interests of social groups based on race, class, caste, and sex. Of particular note are questions relating to gender, and male and female sexuality. The state is expected to protect the special interests of women, but is seen to endorse men's control over women; it is expected to guarantee individual liberties, but it is seen to define what is "normal" and "deviant" in sexual terms; it is expected to uphold the notion of personal privacy, but it is seen to monitor the sexual practices of the populace. Social Reform, Sexuality, and the State brings together a wide range of perspectives from sociologists, social anthropologists, historians, and legal system scholars who reflect on the processes of policy formation, legislation, and dispute adjudication as applied to the intersection of social reform, sexuality, gender, and the state. This book will be of interest to those concerned with gender studies, sociology, social anthropology, law, history, and social policy.…

Fashioning a postcolonial discipline M.N. Srinivas and Indian sociology/Satish Deshpande. Index. Anthropology and sociology have long histories in India. Yet with the exception of fieldwork experience there is neither much available on the institutional and material contexts of these disciplines nor on the practices of pioneering anthropologists and sociologists. The present book fills an important gap. While the sociology of India is not purely national phenomenon (scholars and centers studying Indian exist outside) and while western theories have been important this book shows that local influences and personalities played a major role in shaping the field. The volume spans a century of life and work from the late nineteenth to the late twentieth century and focuses on scholars with varying research trajectories. However it also shows the threads that bind these scholars their common concern with nation building social reform and the value of science. Combining biography institutional history and critical assessment this book will interest all anthropologists sociologists and South Asianists as well as those interested in intellectual history and biography. 552 pp.…
