Abstract

This chapter examines the process through which communal identities have been created in India and its implications for women. It argues that processes affecting Muslim women in India cannot be understood in isolation but must be set in the broader context of communalism, emerging fundamentalism and the dynamics of the relation between the post-colonial state, capitalist development and patriarchal control. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
