Chakravarty, Uma

Gendering Caste: Through a Feminist Lens - New Delhi SAGE Publications India Pvt. Ltd. 2018 - 203 - Theorizing Feminism .

The continuous demand for Gendering Caste: Through a Feminist Lens (2003) led to this revised edition which analyses the recent socio-economic and political changes that have taken place. Caste-based marriage and control over women's sexuality have been crucial for the continuation of the caste system in India. Thus, caste and gender are linked. Brutal reprisals have followed when dalits and women have tried to challenge caste-based marriage and inequality which allots strict rules of conduct for women and all dalits.
