Go on, Government, quibble. Beat it down. I feel like someone who's just stumbled on a mass grave.

While women's songs have always reflected on the stresses and tensions within the family, it was far less often that they envisioned alternative arrangements. Now they do.

For example, Bhoju's cousin was in the army and his wife desired strongly to join him in faraway Pune in spite of her relatives' disapproval. The women's songs I wrote of in my earlier work seemed to appreciate male access to markets and desired goods, and the salaries men earned to purchase these goods, even if they resented the jobs that took husbands away to cities.
