“Readings in Sex and Gender” is a flamboyantly eclectic volume that detonates various aspects of the marginalized sex and gender in Indian society, politics as well as classroom. The essays incorporate several unexplored groups of women like tribal women, education of Muslim women, Hijras as well as nymps; along with the recurrently discussed groups and issues from diverse perspectives. While our social lives are judged by the uncoded rules of patriarchy and binary male/female, it is certainly important to look beyond that. This collection puts forth some such issues which need to be highlighted to attract attention of policy makers and academia. The aim was to cater to the needs of researchers and academicians in the field along with students, policymakers and the ones interested in the topic. This anthology captures the issues, contexts, debates and covered truths crowded in the study of sex, sexuality and gender notions of social sciences.
