Dr. Charu Gupta is a Professor of Modern India in the Department of History, University of Delhi. Her work focuses on gender, sexuality, masculinity, caste, religious identities and vernacular literatures in early twentieth century north India. In her latest monograph, The Gender of Caste: Representing Dalits in Print (Permanent Black & University of Washington Press, 2016; paperback 2017), she focuses on practices of distinction and hierarchy within the Hindu community through the regulation of caste, and specifically through the impact of caste ideology on women in the interwar period.
