Gender inequality and discrimination practices in India : discourse and dilemmas
Contributor(s): Sumita Sarkar, EdMaterial type: TextPublication details: Jaipur Rawat pub. 2021Description: 330 pISBN: 9788131611500Subject(s): Sex discrimination against women | Women--Economic conditions | Women--Social conditions | Women in development | IndiaDDC classification: 305.420954 Summary: Punitive patriarchy deeply entrenched in its socio-cultural norms has induced gender discrimination and sustained unfair gender practices in India over centuries. Instead of proscribing biased treatment towards women, Indian social structure promotes disparity, misogyny and stigmatization. The institutionalized sets of values and principles propagated by patriarchal dogmas continue to inflict miseries on women under the garb of socio-cultural practices. The fact-based data on Indian women and their ‘lived’ experiences as women in Indian society conforms largely to the imagery of an ‘object and inferior’ being and banish them from the larger process of economic and political inclusion in general. The present book entitled Gender Inequality and Discrimination in India: Discourse and Dilemmas encompasses into various spheres of gender exclusion and inclusion emanating several thematic conversations by scholars who addressed ‘gender discrimination and misogyny’ as a dominant tool to subjugate Indian ‘women and womanhood’ as subterranean concern. This edited collection of articles attempt to develop a wider gamut of understanding of the nature and importance of gender equality, gender roles and gender relations in the developmental processes, with a special focus on socio-political and cultural issues of post-globalised Indian society. This theoretical framework can be applied to promote gender awareness and equity in the developmental interventions; and impregnate organizational and institutional culture with newer insights. The book is weaved around ‘gender’ as a ‘core’ theme, predominantly from a feminist perspective.Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
