Description
Historical and cultural aspects of the tensions between violence and its denial and rationalization in South Asia are taken up in the contributions of this volume. It deals with topics ranging from the origins of the concept of Ahimsa, to the iconography and interpretation of a self-beheading goddess, and violent heroines in Ajneya's Hindi short stories.
