Anxiety is hereditary: you get it from your kids

Gender inequality among Hindus and Muslims has been under discussion in
Nukkad. For those interested in the subject this book comes highly
recommended. 

LAW AND GENDER INEQUALITY: The Politics of Women's Rights in India by Flavia
Agnes. Oxford University Press, New Delhi, 1999.

I haven't read the book so far; the recommendation is from a reviewer.
According to him it is a well researched book on development of personal law
in India from pre-colonial days to post Babri Masjid period. The review is
