  • The Pink Chaddi Protest and Feminism: a Dressing Down of the Politics of Development in India
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 3, Ver. 1 (Mar. 2015), PP 57-61 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Pink Chaddi Protest and Feminism: A Dressing Down of the Politics of Development in India Dr Prantik Banerjee Associate Professor Dept. of English Hislop College, Nagpur (India) _________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: In recent times, India has witnessed a number of protest movements that have interrogated, challenged and changed the practices and processes of its democratic functioning. The Pink Chaddi campaign has been one such popular agitation that has foregrounded the issue of access, equity and rights of women and its complex engagement with the discourse of development and the project of modernity. This essay examines just how ‘radical’ is this movement in creating and appropriating ‘space’ in the political, social and cultural matrix of postcolonial India and what is its relation with Indian feminism. The analysis is based on the premise that hardline majoritarian politics exercises its powerful control over women by fortifying spatial boundaries – the public domain for men and the private for women. The Pink Chaddi campaign may be read as a clearing of spaces to articulate women’s rights, to disarm all forms of gendered power relations, and to raise consciousness about the need for gender parity for a truly equitable and developed society. Keywords: Development, feminism, gender, Pink Chaddi, space This paper examines the politics of development and the project of modernity in post-independent India in relation to a recent protest movement of women, the Pink Chaddi campaign.

  • Issue 5 October 2016
    Issue 5 October 2016 Cover image © Saba Hasan, ‘nine book installation’, 2012 1 | Page About Us Culture matters. And it has to matter in India, with its diverse languages, dialects, regions and communities; its rich range of voices from the mainstream and the peripheries. This was the starting point for Guftugu (www.guftugu.in), a quarterly e-journal of poetry, prose, conversations, images and videos which the Indian Writers’ Forum runs as one of its programmes. The aim of the journal is to publish, with universal access online, the best works by Indian cultural practitioners in a place where they need not fear intimidation or irrational censorship, or be excluded by the profit demands of the marketplace. Such an inclusive platform sparks lively dialogue on literary and artistic issues that demand discussion and debate. The guiding spirit of the journal is that culture must have many narratives from many different voices – from the established to the marginal, from the conventional to the deeply experimental. To sum up our vision: Whatever our language, genre or medium, we will freely use our imagination to produce what we see as meaningful for our times. We insist on our freedom to speak and debate without hindrance, both to each other and to our readers and audience. Together, but in different voices, we will interpret and reinterpret the past, our common legacy of contesting narratives; and debate on the present through our creative work. Past issues of Guftugu can be downloaded as PDFs in Archives. Downloads of issues are for private reading only. All material in Guftugu is copyrighted.

  • Report on International Religious Freedom 2009: India
    India Page 1 of 19 India BUREAU OF DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND LABOR International Religious Freedom Report 2009 October 26, 2009 The Constitution provides for freedom of religion; however, some state level laws and policies restricted this freedom. The National Government generally respected religious freedom in practice; however, some state and local governments imposed limits on this freedom. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the National Government during the reporting period; however, problems remained in some areas. Some state governments enacted and amended "anticonversion" laws, and police and enforcement agencies often did not act swiftly to counter communal attacks effectively, including attacks against religious minorities. India is the birthplace of several religions--Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism--and the home for more than a thousand years of Jewish, Zoroastrian, Muslim, and Christian communities. The vast majority of Indians of all religious groups lived in peaceful coexistence; however, there were some organized communal attacks against minority religious groups. The country's democratic system, open society, independent legal institutions, vibrant civil society, and freewheeling press all provide mechanisms to address violations of religious freedom when they occur. Violence erupted in August 2008 in Orissa after individuals affiliated with left-wing Maoist extremists killed a Hindu religious leader in Kandhamal, the country's poorest district. According to government statistics, 40 persons died and 134 were injured. Although most victims were Christians, the underlying causes that led to the violence have complex ethnic, economic, religious, and political roots related to land ownership and government-reserved employment and educational benefits.

As a response to the iolence unleashed by the Sri Ram Sena- a group of young women formed a group called 'The Consortium of !ub-going- 6oose and Forward $omen', which lead to the creation of the 'Pink Chaddi' /literally !in" 7nderwear)'campaign- referring to pin" underwear.

  • Democracy and Maoism
    18 Democracy and Maoism prathama banerjee u his essay is not so much about Maoism as a distinct political phenomenon as it is about rethinking the concept of democracy from perspective of Indian Maoism. One usually Tthinks of democracy in terms of a hierarchy of three political forms—Parliament, Party and Movement. These three political forms are in turn seen to embody three distinct political principles, i.e. representation, vanguardism and participation. We label different political entities differently depending on whether they are defined predominantly by mass mobilization or electoral strategy or vanguardist action. One understands mass movement to be as close to direct democracy as possible, the supreme form of people’s power as it were; representational activities to be a somewhat diluted but practicable democratic form for large populations; and vanguardist action to be necessarily ideology-driven, and for that reason almost always anti-democratic and didactic, sometimes even violent and coercive in its relationship with the masses. Maoism, once placed in this framework, appears to be on the side of ideology and vanguardism, tilting towards the anti-democratic end of the political spectrum. Most discussions around Maoism and democracy, therefore, tend to become discussions around violence. Detractors see Maoists as violent by ideological choice. Sympathizers see Maoists as being compelled to espouse violence because they are pushed to the corner by the pernicious alliance of the State and capitalist corporations. In either case, Maoism’s relationship with democracy comes to be democracy and maoism 375 thematized in the following terms: should Maoism be seen as part of democratic India or as outside of it as a permanent war-zone where the everyday civic and democratic life of the nation remains suspended.
