As its name suggests, this book has viewed certain social practices, beliefs and phenomena from a gender perspective—perspectives of the male, female and the third gender. Since there are essential differences between the ways the people of different sexual categories—those whose orientations match with their sex assigned t\at birth and those whose do not—are socialized and trained, people develop different perspectives of the same social phenomenon and react accordingly. Furthermore, they experience the same things as poverty and natural calamities, for example in different ways. This is not to say that gender identities are not wrought by class/caste and other socially produced differences. The volume explores and questions the different forms that the gender differences, twisted by class/caste and rural/urban divides, take. It exposes the different ways in which gender difference affect our known world of family, health care, political rights, rapidly changing economic environment and entertainment, as also the lesser known world of folk lore and tribal land rights.
