Abstract
Gender is constituted by a complex pattern of behavior and social inter-relationships, albeit with scope for individual manipulation and interpretation. Individuals respond in a variety of ways to various social situations. Through his or her management of the existing social environment, each person can induce society to give him the space desired. That space, however, need not take people outside of the sphere of social interaction. The author explains how within a culture space exists for individuals to manifest their individualism, often in a manner which goes against the normative pattern, and yet retain their social identity. The constitution of gender, gender relations in Khori village, a Haryanavi woman's story, and space as a reflection of social organization are discussed.
