Explore the complex world of witchcraft accusations in Central India with ‘Witchcraft Accusations from Central India: The Fragmented Urn’. This insightful book, available at The Bookish Owl, uses ethnographic research to unravel the social dynamics, gender roles, and legal aspects surrounding witchcraft in contemporary Chandigarh. Discover how the metaphor of a shattered urn illustrates the stories of women accused of witchcraft, their trials, punishments, and the societal aftermath. Delve into the concept of the ‘ṭonhī’ or witch as a symbol that defines social inclusion and exclusion. Through compelling personal interviews, this volume offers a profound look at the intersection of witchcraft, violence, modernity, and ideological norms. A must-read for those interested in anthropology, sociology, and the cultural understanding of belief systems.
