Dr. Swayamshree Mishra will be leading an open discussion on the reading by Professor Janaki Abraham called ‘What will the neighbours say?’: Legitimacy, Social Control and the Sociocultural Influence of Neighbourhoods in India.
This article talks about the importance and influence of neighbourhood on lives of the people, their behaviour and how it shapes their preferences in Indian context, while also highlighting how gender is produced in these settings. This article argues that the narrative of neighbourhood is as vital as caste, class, ethnicity or religion.
