Book Synopsis Dowry Murder by : Veena Talwar Oldenburg
Book excerpt: Oldenburg argues that dowry murder is not about dowry per se nor is it rooted in an Indian culture or caste system that encourages violence against women. Rather, dowry murder can be traced directly to the influences of the British colonial era.
