| Social reforms aimed at changing the social, political, or economic status of women in India were important both to British colonial rule and to nascent nationalist movements. Debates over practices such as widow immolation, widow remarriage, and child marriage, as well as those governing marriage and property within different religious communities, continued to exert profound influence on Indian society and politics throughout the 20th century. In this collection, historians Sumit Sarkar and Tanika Sarkar bring together scholarly articles and primary source documents from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
