Explore the complex intersection of minority rights, gender, and decolonisation in ‘In the Shadow of Minority Rights’. This insightful book moves beyond abstract liberal theories to examine how religious minorities, specifically Muslim women in Mumbai, actively claim their rights. Discover their everyday activism, navigating transnational feminist networks and global Islamic reform movements. The book illuminates how women use ethical principles and bodily practices to challenge inequalities within Muslim family law, advocating for justice rooted in Quranic ideals and Indian constitutional rights. Witness their negotiations within homes, police stations, and local neighbourhoods, demonstrating how ethics and intimate practices shape the lived reality of rights amidst ghettoisation and violence. A vital read for understanding contemporary politics of difference.
