The essay emphasises the relevance of Gayatri Spivak’s work in analysing Indian activism for gender/sexual rights. It underlines the exclusionary rubrics of the transnational biopolitical mapping of the gender(ed) subaltern. The essay builds narratives from the life-story account of A. Revathi –whose writing and activism demystify the global imperialist project of power in determining the universal sexed representation of gender liminal individuals. The ongoing debate in the essay leaps across an ontological disjuncture of the global epidemiological equation of the sexual subaltern as a universal fixed category. Instead, deploying Revathi’s story and Spivak’s theorization, the essay builds the deconstructive project of the hierarchized monolinguistic conceptual framework by the global metropole –offering a provincial/local call for self-representation
