State, Law and Gender
A critical analysis of marriage law in India from the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuryIn State, Law and Gender, Shreya Roy highlights how Indian law has been implicated in women's subordination. It explores the ideological expectations that underpin women's legal regulation, as well as the traditions in which law subjugates women - the multifaceted and elusive ways wherein law validates profoundly gender-based suppositions, relationships, and characters. The book demonstrates that the correlation of moral precepts and legal norms is associated with the broader history of the age of marriage of girls in India, and it has also shown how history includes diverse alternatives to understanding and addressing the problem of child marriages that do not rely on liberal legal frameworks.The book critically analyzes and evaluates the social and legislative history of the period focusing particularly on three significant pieces of legislation - Act III of 1872, the Age of Consent Act of 1891, and the Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929. It traces the history of the legal changes related to the age of marriage in India after Independence, and links this issue with the present-day concern and the Government's initiative for raising the age of marriage of girls.

Saris
Saris reveals the traditional dress of women in the Indian subcontinent. The word sari is derived from the Sanskrit word 'sarika' which means 'long piece of cloth'. The sari has remained an essential part of culture, tradition and fashion in South Asia and India through many centuries. The sari has a history that dates back more than 3000 years. It was originally worn by Hindu women in ancient India and has been worn by many other cultures since then. There are many different types of traditional saris in India, but they all have a few things in common – they are long pieces of fabric that are wrapped around the body, they can be draped over one shoulder or both shoulders, and can be held together on one side with a belt or pin. Learn more about saris in this comprehensive introduction, illuminating the main periods and key themes of Indian fashion history, followed by thematic chapters that cover all eras of clothing, including hair accessories and necklines to hemlines and shoes. Each garment or illustration is accompanied by text exploring its style and the fascinating range of embroidery, draping, ornamentation, dyeing and materials. The sari has remained a fashionable choice for those living in the Indian subcontinent today.
