The Government of Social Life in Colonial India: Liberalism, Religious Law, and Women's Rights - Cambridge Studies in Indian History and Society
Sturman, Rachel (Bowdoin College, Maine)
An important new study which analyses the system of personal law in colonial India, showing how it encouraged gender equality and a better relationship between state and society. By focusing on Hindu law, this illuminating book challenges existing scholarship, showing how - far from being based on traditional values – Hindu law was developed around ideas of liberalism.
