Abstract

Kelkar and Nathan are unapologetically firm in stating that the focus of their work are the victims of witch hunts: the women who are persecuted as witches. In the chapter on cultural and epistemological aspects of beliefs, Kelkar and Nathan provide a critical analysis of the post-colonial arguments on the belief in witchcraft (Chapter 2). The names Govind Kelkar and Dev Nathan are hardly unfamiliar to those of us who work on the area of witchcraft and witch hunts in India. [Extracted from the article]
