Any book on the demographic transition in Kerala is bound to attract attention at the moment, since the situation in Kerala is such as (could be described) 'dream came True' - a dream India is entertaining during the last 45 years. Kerala has attained demographic transition with a birth rate, death rate and infant mortality rate, comparable to those of the advanced countries of the world. One wonders what the reasons are behind this achievement, and whether it could be possible for other states of the country to take lessons from it so that the demographic transition in them is accelerated. The problem of population growth in India has become disastrous. The book under review is a great solace.- Impact of Culture, Status of Women and Demographic Behaviour

This book by Alaka M. Basu, visiting fellow at the Institute of Economic Growth, Delhi, is a useful addition to the demographic literature available for India. It examines the effect of culture and the status of women on the demographic behaviour of two groups of women. These are from North and South India living in the slums of Delhi. The demographic practices and attitudes are found to be different in the two groups, the major part of which can be explained by the cultural differences envisaged through the status of women. There are scores of studies in the field which often lay stress on the demographic attitudes of women affected by socio-economic variates. But in the present book the idea is to keep the socio-economic variates constant and attribute the observed differences to cultural ones affecting the status of women.- Towards Gender Justice, Research Centre for Women’s Studies

This book is the first publication of the Gender Series planned by the Research Centre for Women’s Studies. This series seeks to enhance our knowledge of women’s status, problems, and struggles in all spheres of life. The present book takes a comprehensive view of the interplay of legal and social factors which keep women away from getting the full benefits of legal justice. The idea of movement for equal justice in the eyes of the law is relatively new. In the nineteenth century the social reformists tried to emancipate women with social changes radical for the time but certainly not free from patriarchal biases shared by reformers as well as the British rulers. With this gender bias, full justice was bound to be denied to women. But things have not changed much even to-day. This is the theme of the three lectures incorporated in this book.
