Never in the history of civilization has the veil,hijab or purdah become much of a contentious issue.the root of the contention, however, it hs always been politics, This volume mainly focuses on South Asia, where the veiling of women has a part of its age-old civilization,indeed,more marker of civility and not always from the standpoint masculinity.But then in times, the territoriality societies in the name of ‘modern state’ and the power of both patriarchy and masculinity reinforcing made the veiling of women, one form or another, an exercise in patriarchy, masculinity or gender politics, often crisscrossing national, ethnic, racial religious boundaries, with women as its main victims.
This volume attempts to overcome our ‘ignorance’ far as the veil is concerned.Demystifying the politics of veiling can certainly contribute to emancipatory politics in Asia and beyond.
