Description
This panel interrogates the feminist movements and women’s experiences within South Asia. The authors do so while detangling the varied axes of contestation, co-operation and dialogue within the multiple landscapes within postcolonial South Asian. They explore the revolutionary politics of feminist political movements through the intersections of class, caste, ethnicity, race and gender within postcolonial South Asia, the ramifications of unresolved conflict on the idea of home, the politics of race and caste in Global South Feminism and how women navigated post-imperial foreign policy spaces. The papers contribute to the critical debates that challenge the homogeneity of South Asian feminism(s) as well as gendered experiences. They also bring forth transnational convergences between radical feminist thoughts and unveil women’s lived experiences in post imperial landscape in conflict and beyond.
