Urvashi Kaushal – författare

This book traces masculinity in contemporary fiction produced by Indian writers in English. It analyses masculinity and its multiple shades in recent fiction produced by Jerry Pinto, Meena Kandasamy, Manu Bhattathiri, Hansda Sowvendra Shekar, Santanu Bhattacharya, and Devika Rege. This book will be a significant addition to the discourse on gender studies as it will bring the focus on men in Indian fiction. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literature and literary criticism and South Asian studies.

The proceedings strongly support the ideas of gender neutrality and blow out the mind-set of limiting gender studies to only women rights. The basic motive of the presented book is to incorporate ideas and contribute to the sensitization and education about the important yet often neglected issues of gender equality.
