Mr. Heimsath presents here an intellectual history of the social reform movement among Hindus in India in the century between Ram Mohun Roy and Gandhi. Treating separately each major province in which reform movements flourished, he shows the many ways in which social reform was effected. Originally published in 1964. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

A substantial contribution to the debate on the role of gender studies in the context of the development of Indian society is offered in this volume. The contributors highlight the problematic nature of the dual role the state is expected to play: on one hand it is vested with the responsibility for social reform; on the other it is seen as representing and furthering the interests of social groups based on race, class, caste or sex. This duality of the state is particularly evident in questions relating to gender, and male and female sexuality.

This book offers an important reinterpretation of major themes of sovereignty, authority and social reform in colonial South Asian history. Focusing on the British prohibition of sati in 1829, the author shows how the debates that preceded this legislation have effectively set the terms of post-colonial debates about sati, as well as more generally defining the parameters of British involvement in Indian social and religious issues.

"Social and religious reform in colonial India has often been written about without an effort to highlight the wide-ranging debates that affected it. The volume is thus the first work to focus on 'reform' as a disputed concept. It traces the critical contestations around the phenomenon of reform as it affected the largest community of British India - the Hindus. The essays identify major issues within the history of socio-religious reform that grew into passionate public debates."--BOOK JACKET.
