Description

Explore the complex social landscape of India through this academic study by Routledge. This book examines the troubling reality where girls face widespread abortion due to gender preferences, even as the country experiences general improvements in welfare and female status. Through a deep look at economic and social changes, the text identifies a significant contradiction in modern India. It examines how traditional cultural factors that demand sons continue to hold weight, even while rapid socio-economic shifts challenge those very same values. This tension creates a state of uncertainty regarding the roles of sons and the safety of daughters in a changing society. This work is essential for students and researchers interested in anthropology, sociology, and the shifting dynamics of gender and development in the Indian context.
