| Abstract
|
:
|
"This study of Muslim women in India seeks to dispel popular misperceptions and stereotypes regarding their status, as well as to seriously engage with academic debates on gender and Islam." "The data and interpretative analysis presented here are based on the first-ever national survey of 10,000 Muslim and Hindu women in India, covering a range of issues from education, work, socio-economic status, and marriage to decision-making, autonomy, mobility, domestic violence, access to welfare, and political participation." "The volume throws light on the question of opportunities, discrimination, and structural disadvantage; on the intersection of gender, class, and patriarchy in the creation of inequalities and subordination; on the startling similarities, as well as glaring disparities, within and between communities, and between Muslim and Hindu women; and on the impact of government policies and programmes on any improvement in the status of Muslim women." "This study will interest political scientists, historians, demographers, sociologists, and social anthropologists, as also an informed lay audience consisting of activists, journalists, and policy planners."--BOOK JACKET.
