Description
This volume seeks to unravel how the urban Indian men react to the challenges being thrown up by the new woman and reveals them in their true colors.
Indian men have attained notoriety for their 'impeccable' double standards vis-a-vis their career, social status, tradition and, above all, women. As mama's darlings, they've different sets of rules for themselves and for their wives. However, as the world hurtles towards the next millennium, the average Indian man finds himself caught in a maelstrom of conflicting emotions, compelling them to pause and rethink his attitudes and approach towards life.
The author, in the course of this thought-provoking volume, attempts to rip off the fatade camouflaging the sordid realities of present-day Indian society, ridden by paradoxical situations created by an obsessive fixation with the past and the overwhelming desire to move into the twenty-first century.
