Product Description
Has there been a "conspiracy of silence" regarding sexuality in India, be it within social movements or as a focus of scholarship? This book interrogates this assumption in order to thematize a crucial field. From unraveling the Kamasutra (the text) to investigating KamaSutra (the condom) the volume includes essays on how sexuality has been framed by the law, within social movements, or has been the site for patrolled caste, ethnic, or gender identities. Other essays analyze cinematic, televisual, and literary representations of sexuality. Taken as a whole, this book makes room for more wide-ranging approaches for tackling the sexual economies of desire and violence among men and women in modern India.
