Indigenizing” Feminist Theory in Indian Anthropology
Special Issue on ‘Hong Kong
Doing Kinship and Gender in a Comparative Context
Leela Dube (1923-2012) was an Indian social anthropologist / sociologist whose primary interest was in the field of family and kinship studies. This essay traces the zig-zag process of her intellectual evolution over five decades into one of the leading feminist anthropologists of her day – in India, in the Asian region, and indeed globally. Crucial turning points in this evolution were: (i) her self-initiated field study of the accommodation of …

China Studies in India—3
China in Bollywood
This article engages sociologically with three different academic discourses. The first pertains to the field of international relations, referring specifically to an enduring aspect of India-China bilateral relations over the last half-century or more that is known in shorthand as the 'trust deficit'. The second has reference to the field of cinema studies, in particular to the generic characteristics of the Hollywood/Bollywood 'war film'. The t…

India–China Initiatives in Multilateral Fora
This article reflects on the experience of India's engagement with China in two multilateral forums: the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar (BCIM) Forum for Regional Economic Cooperation, formerly known as the ‘Kunming Initiative’, and the China-India-Russia Academic Trilateral Conference. Though both forums are so-called ‘Track Two’ ventures, the dynamics of the two exercises are rather different. As of now, the ‘Trilateral’ is rated relatively succ…
Marriage and Migration in Asia
The articles in this special issue bring a gender-sensitive perspective to bear on aspects of marriage and migration in intra- and transnational contexts. In particular they consider: (a) how given specific rules of marriage and (post-marital) residence the institution of marriage may itself entail womens migration; (b) how marriage can be used as an individual and family strategy to facilitate migration and conversely how migration may become an…
Unity in diversity?' Dilemmas of nationhood in Indian calendar art
This article focuses on the visual representation of the ideal of secularism in the popular print culture of the 'Nehruvian' era of Indian nation-building in the light of some contemporary controversies. The analysis reveals a tension between a relatively egalitarian understanding of the principle of 'unity in diversity', in which all religious traditions are conceived as equivalent sources of truth, and a 'majoritarian' understanding whereby oth…
Colluding Patriarchies
The Enigma of the Social Sector
The diaspora comes home
A significant new development in the field of Indian family and kinship, and one which has so far barely been addressed in the sociology of India, is the internationalisation of the middle-class family. This paper analyses two popular Hindi films of the mid-1990s, Dilwale dulhania le jayenge (DDLJ) and Pardes, that thematise the problems of transnational location in respect of courtship and marriage. The two films share a conservative agenda on t…

Art should show us all our bad national qualities and attributes in such a way that each of us will search out traces of them in ourself and think how to cast from ourself everything which obscures the nobility of our nature. Only then, and acting in this way, will art fulfil its designated purpose and bring order and harmony into society.—Nikolai Gogol
