Two Mithila Artists Respond to Modi's Covid-19 Lockdown in 2020
In the spring and summer of 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic began to sweep through India, artists from the Mithila region began to paint about the new world in which they lived. Their thoughtful engagement with the changes they faced-changes in behavior, in social life, in nature-is reflected in their many paintings at the Syracuse University Art Museum, which I organized into an online exhibit, "Mithila Art in the Time of Covid-19." Several paint…

Mountain Goddess
No Longer a Wife
This comment from Saroj, a Brahman widow in her fifties from the village of Karimpur in north India, captures the views of north Indian Hindu widows: to lose one’s husband is to lose one’s main support. Yet the branches that Saroj belittles-a woman’s other kin, both natal and affinal-must exist for support and be strengthened if the new widow is to prosper. Using case studies from Karimpur, this essay explores why widows find this loss so difficu…
Family composition strategies in rural north India
Recent evidence on child mortality and fertility trends in the community known as Karimpur in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh presents a troubling puzzle: the female children of the poor are now dying at a much more rapid rate than their brothers. In this community, sex-specific child mortality is not new. What is new is the increasing female bias in child mortality among the poor. My contention is that this trend can only be understood i…

Women's Status in Egalitarian Society
The analysis of women's status in egalitarian society is inseparable from the analysis of egalitarian social-economic structure as a whole, and concepts based on the hierarchical structure of our society distort both. To see relations of power and property that characterize our society as present in band societies, although extremely weak, obscures the qualitatively different relations that obtained when, in place of dyadic lines of dependency, e…
