This volume examines the reconstruction of identities in Punjab, especially focusing on religion, gender, caste, and class, highlighting the social transformations during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume’s central motif is the reconstruction of identities, particularly through literature, in specific social contexts. Contributors explore the evolution of Punjabi society, starting from the 18th century and concluding with the end of colonial rule. One of the key themes discussed is the changing construction of religion, from composite religious practices to a singular religious tradition, a transformation that culminated in communal riots, mass killings, and the displacement of millions of Punjabis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also delves into the gender dynamics in Punjabi society, focusing on the struggle of women against patriarchy. The first Punjabi woman poet, Peero, is highlighted for her voice against the suppression of women in Punjabi society during the 19th century. The process of gender identity construction in the 19th century is shown to be intertwined with religious boundaries, particularly in the writings of Bhai Vir Singh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book offers an in-depth examination of how the contestation and synthesis of religious identities led to social upheaval, including riots during key historical moments. The volume reflects on the continuity and change in the construction of identities in the transition from pre-colonial to colonial Punjab, providing insights into the historical and sociological aspects of the society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Insert contents list if provided]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author \/ Editor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParamjit S.
