Gandhi's Tiger And Sita's Smile: Essays On Gender, Sexuality And Culture Reviews
-
A wonderful collection of some of the most insightful essays-- runs the gamut of topics, with politics, gender, sexuality, media, mythology, culture, and Bollywood featuring prominently. A few of the pieces are a tad academic, but on the whole it's a great read for lay audiences, both accessible and of interest, and quite a few surprising facts scattered throughout (the Rafi track "Chahunga Main Tujhe" was directed towards a male character, for example).
Very highly recommended! -
Argues for a more complex understanding of gender and sexuality in Indian culture.
