About the Book
The 1st Edition of this book by Mukherjee Sulakshana Banerjee (Dr.), published by Sultan Chand & Sons, offers a critical and thought-provoking analysis of honour killings in India, a serious social issue rooted in deep-seated cultural, caste, and patriarchal structures.

The book raises important questions about the very notion of “honour” and examines how such acts are justified within certain societal frameworks. It explores the intersection of caste dynamics, religious divisions, and patriarchal control, highlighting how these factors influence personal autonomy and decision-making.

Through a rational and analytical approach, the book aims to challenge traditional beliefs and encourage readers to reflect on the ethical and social implications of honour-based violence. It emphasizes that such acts are not honourable but rather a violation of fundamental human rights.
