December 15, ISBN: You can read this item using any of the following Kobo apps and devices: The chapter on aesthetic female bodies discusses how decorating of female bodies quintessentially became a project of modernity in Keralam. Many arguments that have been advanced on the Nambudiri community formation and Nambudiri reform movements in Keralam are similar to other community reform movements in Keralam. Recent works have shown the Dalit assertions of modernity in own idioms, rejecting earlier theories of Sanskritisation.

All these assertions and attempts were engagements with modernity or for asserting rights with the dominant groups and the state. Moreover, in many cases, the making of communities through collating of various groups was not easy, since there were significant degrees of gradation or hierarchy among the caste groups.

A closer reading of the mechanisms worked among castes, which erased the hierarchies and gradations among the identical caste groups would certainly reveal the power of modern ideals circulating in the society. One particular aspect about the reform movements and struggles in twentieth century Keralam was that it was not anti-Brahmin per se, the native Brahmin becoming the aggrieved party in some cases. Though, the litigants cleverly avoided social groups like Muslims, ex-slave castes and numerous other lower castes, the litigation was against the perceived foreign Brahmin domination in administration.

Writing under the canopy of rich theoretical insights and sources, seems to miss one crucial relation that of gender and caste. Though the ordering of the society on the basis of gender assumed significance in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as she convincingly argues, it was never been a reordering on the basis of gender only. An earlier book of the author cites the criticism of and Narikkatiri Devaki Antarjanam, a reformer -women and PK Kalyani, a leading satyagrahi during Vaikam satyagraha on perpetuating caste practices and untouchability among women.
