The Battle for Sabarimala

Religion, Law, and Gender in Contemporary India

Beschreibung

The Battle for Sabarimala tells the story of one of contemporary India's most contentious disputes: a long-running struggle over women's access to the Hindu temple at Sabarimala. In this monograph-length study of the dispute, legal anthropologist Deepa Das Acevedo draws on ethnographic fieldwork, legal analysis, and media archives to tell a multi-faceted narrative about the 'ban on women' in this temple in Southern India.
