Slow Progress for Women with Disabilities in India
This essay examines the engendering of disability in India over the past half a century through a reflexive lens; the author has been both an observer and participant in this process. The article looks at how women with disabilities have emerged as a distinct category in the different registers of state, civil society, and academia, in the face of overwhelming odds as individuals and invisibility as a group. It also discusses how notions of human…
Kinship Destabilized
In the Global South, disability is often lived as a family experience. The spatiotemporal context in neoliberal India, characterized by rapid social and cultural change disrupting traditional family structures and creating the possibility for the emergence of new and alternative kinship imaginaries.

Discursive and institutional intersections
While important foci of feminist legal jurisprudence have highlighted the patriarchal bias in the areas of legal theory, sexuality, race, and violence, an important area that has received little attention is the interface between health law, gender, and power, particularly in the context of post-colonial societies. This paper explores these concepts in contemporary India, the underlying idea being that health is as much an issue of violence as vi…

This paper adopts an anthropological approach to the understanding of psychiatry in post-colonial India. It examines how national and local contexts modify the universal theories and practices that come to define psychiatry as a medical speciality. It begins with a brief history of psychiatry in India. This is followed by an in-depth analysis of seminal writings by Indian psychiatrists to highlight the cultural underpinnings of concepts of mental…

Affliction and Testimony
This paper is an attempt to map out the life-world of a young unmarried woman with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, whom the author met in the course of her ethnographic study of general hospital psychiatry in a Delhi public hospital (Addlakha 1999). It is primarily based on the author’s reading of Parvati Devi’s diary, a document meticulously maintained by the patient in the months prior to her hospitalisation at the Lady Hardinge Hospital, New Del…
State legitimacy and social suffering in a modern epidemic
Public health emergencies like epidemic outbreaks provide a challenge to the legitimacy of the state as the mechanism for the maintenance of public order in modern societies. Official agencies, under such circumstances, are faced with the formidable task of ration alising the state's failure to pre-empt a crisis, that is, to maintain their legitimacy in the face of human suffering. This article explores how the Delhi government responded to an ou…
