Book Review: Shobna Nijhawan, Women and Girls in the Hindi Public Sphere: Periodical Literature in Colonial North India

Abstract

Meghalaya. It is illuminating to think that these intricate connections of imperial and post-colonial cultures with individual and global destinies finds expression not just in this book's subjects, but in the process of its creation, wherein an Antipodean historian of Melbourne's coffee-drinking urbanity was impelled by personal and academic serendipities to write this sensitive evocation of such dialogic conversations across time and space, empires and localities, Khasia and Gwalia.
