Trade Review
"Honorable Mention for the J. Willard Hurst Book Prize, Law and Society Association"
"Winner of the Bernard S. Cohn Book Prize, Association for Asian Studies"
"A powerful critique of how the present-day study of society is entangled with histories of colonial, caste supremacist, and communalist knowledge production. Indian Sex Life is sure to become a classic in the fields of gender and sexuality studies and South Asian history."---Jessica Hinchy, Journal of the History of Sexuality
"A great step in the proper understanding and decoding of colonial knowledge structures and as to how and why women’s perceived sexual deviancy functioned as a primary engine for change."---Samuel Bell, The Middle Ground Journal
