Intimate Relations: Exploring Indian Sexuality

	Intimate Relations: Exploring Indian Sexuality by Sudhir Kakar
	Price : Rs 200.00
	Your Price : Rs 156.00

Intimate Relations is a ground-breaking work that explores in detail India’s sexual fantasies and ideals, the ‘unlit stage of desire where so much of our inner theatre takes place’. Kakar’s sources are textual in the main, celebrating the primacy of the story in Indian life. Among others he examines lurid contemporary Hindi novels; folktales; the laws of Manu; Sanskrit, Tamil and Hindi proverbs; hits of the Indian cinema; Gandhi’s autobiography—with a special emphasis on those chapters dealing with the Mahatma’s attitude to sexuality and his lifelong striving for absolute purity and celibacy; interviews with women from the slums of Delhi; and case studies from his own psychoanalytic practice. His brilliant readings of these varied narratives form a vivid portrait of sexual life in India.
