Title: Sensationalism which never goes below the surface
Review: This is a stereotypical account with a liberal dose of sensationalism, evident in the topics and events she chooses as representative of the Indian feminine experience.This is in the line of books masquerading as sympathetic accounts but really caarrying on from a colonial mind-set of looking down from above.To get a more accurate picture of issues like Dowry, I recommend Veena Oldenburg's (sp?) "Dowry Murder" -- be prepared to get your received prejudices challenged.
