Love in South Asia
Love may be a universal feeling, but culture and language play a crucial role in defining it. This collection of essays explores for the first time the development of love in South Asia from an historical perspective. Written by leading scholars in the field, it ranges from concepts of love from Persian and Urdu poetry to the new ideals of romantic love and companionate marriage that came with colonial modernity. A substantial introduction contextualizes the essays, presenting the student of South Asia with an important cultural history.
