Decolonial praxis/es of solidarity in Indian literary and cultural discourses on social movements
Can there be a decolonial praxis of solidarity? Structural violence and mobilisation in social movements
A Tryst with Colonial Modernity
Rethinking powers of political
In this reading of Rahi Masoom Raza’s Katra Bi Arzoo (1978), the article proposes that the imposition of the National Emergency in India on 25–26 June 1975 should be perceived in the light of the politics of the preceding decades. The 1960s and early 1970s were riven by social movements such as the Naxalite movement, the women’s movement, and especially the J. P. movement. In highlighting this context, the article argues that Raza’s novel cogniti…
Traversing the “Margins,” Interrogating the Center
Reading Temsula Ao’s collection of short stories, These Hills Called Home: Stories from a War Zone (2006), this article aims to establish how violence against women in Nagaland and by extension northeastern India is not simply an offshoot of militancy and militarization, but is deeply embroiled in and betrays the gendered contexts of the nation-state. The article locates Ao’s text within the various socio-political processes which have affected N…
Negotiating Structural Inequalities in Post-independence India
The present article focuses on the plight of deserted women and widows in post-independence India, drawing its arguments from Indira Goswami’s novels Neel Kanthi Braja ( Shadow of Dark God 1986) and A Saga of South Kamrup (1993). It exposes the collusion between masculinity, patriarchy and national identity. While doing so, it not only interrogates the traditional concerns associated with wifehood and widowhood but also foregrounds the need to re…
Mapping the Gendered Contexts of the ‘Glocal’ Nation
The announcement of the new economic policy in 1991 pushed India into hitherto unchartered domains of liberalisation, globalisation and privatisation. Many literary writings by Indian women published in the 1990s and 2000s reflect the rupture of Nehruvian model of development as India entered and settled itself in the brave new world of globalisation. Reading Alka Saraogi’s Kali-katha: Via Bypass (1998), this article attempts to explore how women…

(2016). The Marvelously “Real” World of Dastan: Khatri's Chandrakanta and the Dynamics of Nationalism in Colonial India. South Asian Review: Vol. 37, No. 2, pp. 152-176
Negotiating structural inequalities
The patriarchal, virilocal, patrilineal structure of the family in India not only exploits class upper-caste/middle-class women’s claims to equality within marriage but also renders their sexuality as particularly tied to the reproductive project of heterosexuality. Moreover, the institutionalization of marriage produces asymmetrical gendered relations to an extent that women are reduced to being men’s property and possession, rigidly placed unde…
