Reconstruction of identities by using literary texts in specific context of Punjab is the central motif of the present volume. It is a collective effort to understand the evolution of the Punjabi society in terms of religion gender caste class and rivalry. Starting from the 18 century text the volume explores various facets of the social life of Punjab till the end of colonial period. Despite the varying approaches of the contributors it seems clear that there was a definite change in the way religion and gender in particular were constructed across time that spans three centuries. In the case of religion there has been a movement from composite religious practices to the construction of singular religious tradition which was done in a way that culminated into the communal riots and killing and displacement of millions of Punjabis. The construction of gender presents the most interesting dimension of the Punjabi Society. The struggle of woman against patriarchy becomes visible even in the 18 century and in the 19 century the first Punjabi woman poet Peero raises the voice against suppression and marginality of woman in the Punjabi Society. An endeavour towards the construction of gender identity in the 19 century became simultaneously an act of creation of religious boundaries as was evident in the writings of Bhai Vir Singh. Further an attempt has been made to show how these identities form the crucial element in the dynamism of society. The historical and sociological evidence corroborates the interpretation of select literary texts to understand the Punjabi Society. Seen historically the interpretative analyses of the texts show tremendous continuity in the forging reinterpretation and reconstruction of identities. The synthesis and fission of religious identities created contestation that culminated into riots at a historical moment. In a way the volume shows the process through which the Punjabi society passed from pre colonial to the colonial period. 214 pp.…
