{"product_id":"founding-mothers-of-the-indian-achyut-chetan-9781108832564","title":"Founding Mothers of the Indian Republic: Gender Politics of the Framing of the Constitution","description":"The book begins with the momentous task of demolishing the prejudices attached with the phrase 'founding fathers' that has held an immense sway over constitutional interpretation. It shows that women members of the Indian Constituent Assembly had painstakingly co-authored a Constitution that embodied a moral imagination developed by years of feminist politics. It traces the genealogies of several constitutional provisions to argue that, without the interventions of these women framers, the Constitution would hardly have a much poorer document of rights and statecraft that it is. Situating these interventions in the larger trajectory of Indian feminism in which they are rooted, in the nationalist discourse with which they perpetually negotiated, and in the larger human rights discourse of the 1940s, the book shows that the women members of the Indian Constituent Assembly were much more than the 'founding mothers' of a republic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Achyut Chetan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108832563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108832564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.98w x 0.47d","brand":"Achyut Chetan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071313768703,"sku":"9781108832564","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1da840e5-6d4a-4a8a-a20b-c52b65cef6ae.jpg?v=1685435372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/founding-mothers-of-the-indian-achyut-chetan-9781108832564","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
