Recent research on HIV/AIDS in India has not focused on married women, although married women have shown increasing rates of infection.

Yet, as drastic changes of industry in the 1820s enabled more people to participate in the economic system, the sovereignty of people turned out to be potentially subversive power of the mob, which required the literary …
