Society, Religion and Patriarchy: Exploring Medieval Pujab Through Hir Waris

The present study does not simply 'reproduce' the medieval Punjabi society as 'reflected' in Hir Waris; rather it seeks to unfold the folk legend of Hir-Ranijha in the wider political, social, cultural and religious contexts of medieval Punjab. The volume suggests that a society, its folklore and history are organically linked to one another.
