Begging, Street Politics and Power

The Religious and Secular Regulation of Begging in India and Pakistan

By: Sheba Saeed

Begging, Street Politics and Power explores the complex phenomenon of begging in the context of two different religions and societies in South Asia. Focusing on India and Pakistan, the book provides an in-depth examination of the religious and secular laws regulating begging along with discussion of the power dynamics involved. Drawing on textual analysis and qualitative field research, the chapters consider the notion of charity within Hinduism and Islam, the transaction of giving and receiving, and the political structures at play in the locations studied. The book engages with the conflicting compassionate and criminal sides of begging and reveals some of the commonalities and differences in religion and society within South Asia. It will be of interest to scholars working across the fields of religious studies, social science, law and Asian studies.

Transgender Identities

The Evolving Identity of Transwomen in Pakistan

By: Sheba Saeed

Transgender Identities explores the complexities of transwomen identities in the context of Pakistan with an insight into the traditional and evolving transwoman, and the intersectionalities that are present within those communities. Saeed explores the historical background of the transgender community in South Asia, the cities and the communities that impact the lives of transwomen in Pakistan, and how generational differences impact their lives and identities. Through interviews with 26 khwaja saras, Saeed brings together a comparative analysis of both these communities and explore in greater depth the fluid nature of the identity of these transwomen.
