Abstract
Love Jihad: A Feminist Retelling by Sameena Dalwai is a thought-provoking and timely exploration of one of the most debated social and political narratives in contemporary India. Through a feminist lens, the author examines questions of women's autonomy, personal choice, interfaith relationships, identity, and individual rights, encouraging readers to engage critically with issues that lie at the intersection of gender, society, and politics.
Drawing on research, lived experiences, social observations, and feminist perspectives, Sameena Dalwai challenges conventional narratives and invites readers to consider how discussions surrounding love, marriage, religion, and personal freedom affect women's lives and agency. The book highlights the importance of individual choice, constitutional values, and gender equality in a diverse and democratic society.
Written in an accessible and engaging style, Love Jihad: A Feminist Retelling explores broader themes such as patriarchy, social control, women's rights, interfaith relationships, secularism, and personal liberty. It offers readers a nuanced perspective on contemporary debates while emphasizing the voices and experiences of women often overlooked in public discourse.
Ideal for readers of gender studies, sociology, political science, human rights, contemporary Indian affairs, and feminist literature, this book contributes meaningfully to discussions on freedom, equality, and social justice.
