Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Language: English. About The Book: This book delves into the diverse facets of polyandry in India, examining its complexities across various regions. Scholars dissect Ladakh's intricate dynamics and analyze Lahaul's trajectory, offering unique insights. They track the evolution of Himalayan societal norms and dissect the domestic rhythms of Pahari polyandry. Comparative perspectives are drawn by revisiting Pahari and Tibetan contexts. The book also scrutinizes cis-Himalayan communities and explores Jat Sikhs' traditions in Punjab. South India's nuances, particularly among the Nayars and in Malabar, deepen the understanding, while insights from East and Northeast India provide a broader perspective on polyandry's cultural, gender, and historical significance across the subcontinent.
