Dear all,
Have been lurking for a bit (just a few days!) till my partner Karen
Gabriel, who put me onto the list, started wondering why I hadn't
shown up. So here I am!
I, like Karen, am at the Institute of Social Studies at The Hague,
working on my PhD. My topic is the constructions of masculinity and
femininity in the recent growth of Hindu nationalism in India. So,
while not strictly to do with Hinduism as a religion, but more in its
political organisation, my work of necessity has to examine the
religious prescriptions and proscriptions on gender.
I'll probably go back to lurking now, but I'd be happy to communicate
with anyone interested in my work, or doing similar work. Meanwhile,
I'm quite happy to be part of the list and enjoy the discussions.
Best to all,
PK Vijayan
