(Re)production and the loss of culture and tradition- a case study of the gendered tradition of Phulkari
Culture is created and modified in stages through human practices comprising numerous elements- products of culture- that are developed, altered, andat times, lost or redefined. This study presents the classical example of ‘Phulkari’- an embroidery technique which represents intergenerational gendered work in parts of Punjab, India.

Unravelling the Factors of Acceptance of Violence in Marriage by Women
Globally, 30% women, in a relationship, have been experiencing both physical and sexual violence by their intimate partners, particularly in the South-East Asian region.

The age at marriage which was pegged at 14 and 18 years for females and males respectively (Child Marriage Restraint Act 1929), has be…
Road-mapping the Contradictions Around Premenstrual Syndrome
Even though the term premenstrual syndrome has entered the common lexicon, yet it still remains a Gordian knot that needs to be untangled by not only the medical profession but also the legal profession. Resolving this conundrum requires a balancing of the dichotomy between ‘medicalizing’ women’s lives and a need to affirm women’s experiences. There exist several legal impediments while presenting evidence of this syndrome for diminishing the res…
