Abstract:

Globalisation – Has it diversified or restricted the economic options of small communities worldwide? Has it brought significant changes in the way people perceive and live out socially?

Concern voiced by the Sundarban elite on the morality of tiger prawn seed collection highlights dilemmas about what is seen as the erosion of the divisions of gender and socio- economic hierarchies. Find out what it means to be a prawn seed collector and a modern woman in 21^st century Sundarbans.
