About The Book

Plunging the Ocean engages with the voluminous content of the Kathāsaritsāgara, a text meant for courtly entertainment, locating the various points of its retelling. The volume weaves gender as the discursive mesh with various themes such as caste, class, upations, control and flow of resources or wealth, religious practices, sexuality and power structures to highlight the discourse of the text itself.
