The Forgotten History of Our Times: Revisiting Utpal Dutt’s Titu Mir in Contemporary India
This paper is an exploration of the most recent revival of Utpal Dutt's play Titu Mir in 2019 by the ensemble group Theatre Formation Paribartak in India. Islamic religious reformer Titu Mir led a peasant rebellion from 1827 to 1831 in the Barasat region of Bengal and the play focuses on a narrative of revolutionary resistance to colonialism. Titu Mir becomes an articulation of political theatre against the Hindu right-wing agenda of expunging Mu…
The Call of the World”: Women's Memories of Global Socialist Feminism in India
This article explores the juncture between historical time and space in the context of socialist feminism, primarily through the memoir of an Indian woman activist who spent four years in East Berlin as the Asian Secretary at the Women's International Democratic Federation. This primary source material is drawn from a longer history of Indian leftist women's participation in political mobilizations and organizational work, the literary tradition …
The Romantic Manifesto: Gender and “Outlaw” Emotions in the Naxalbari Movement
A feminist foremother: Critical essays on Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain
Inside/out: Women’s movement and women in movements
About 20 years after Susie Tharu and Tejaswini Niranjana’s acclaimed essay ‘Problems for a contemporary Theory of Gender’ was written, suddenly women – of different ages, castes, classes, from diverse regions, and with various religious affiliations – have again taken the centre stage from the power corridors of policy-making to the debates in student organisations. In the last few years there has been an exponential increase in the coverage of v…
Rethinking Female Militancy in Postcolonial Bengal
Tensions in Rural Bengal: Landlords, Planters and Colonial Rule
Contesting Calcutta Canons: Issues of gender and mofussil in the Naxalbari movement in West Bengal (1967–1975)
The Naxalbari movement, a radical Maoist movement, marks a significant moment in the postcolonial history of West Bengal, as well as in the larger context of India. Beginning as an armed peasant movement in 1967 in the Naxalbari area of northern West Bengal, the movement soon was spread in different districts of West Bengal and several provinces of India. Even though it has been one of the well-studied political and social events in postcolonial …
Magic Moments of Struggle: Women's Memory of the Naxalbari Movement in West Bengal, India (1967–75)
This paper focuses on women's memories of participation in the Naxalbari movement in West Bengal. These memories, sourced from women's oral histories and published memoirs, capture not only women's visions of emancipation and camaraderie but their everyday struggles, experiences of fear and violence and patriarchal domination within the movement as well. As these memories are refracted by the women's diverse socio-economic and cultural locations,…
Speaking Silence: Narrative of Gender in the Historiography of the Naxalbari Movement in West Bengal (1967–75)
Women's history is not only an effort to restore women to history, but perhaps, more importantly, also to restore history to women. Writing women's history, therefore, calls for overcoming the isolationist celebration of individual women and to posit gender as an analytical category for studying history. Since ‘women’ do not constitute a composite, ahistorical, perennial ‘other’ with their distilled autonomous history, their histories are inextri…
I. Bare and Vulnerable Behind the Bars: Women in Need of Psychiatric Care in Indian Jails
The near invisibility of the plight of Indian women prisoners in need of psychiatric care necessitates an exposition of their circumstances. The end of colonial rule and the growth of women’s movements in independent India have had little effect on the social attitude towards, particularly, non-political prisoners. The root causes of their crimes, especially those committed by women are rarely focused on and dealt with. Instead, these prisoners a…
