Contributing to debates on feminism, this book considers the impact
made by feminists in India from the 1970s. Geetanjali Gangoli
analyses feminist campaigns on issues of violence and women's
rights, and debates on ways in which feminist legal debates may be
limiting for women and based on exclusionary concepts such as
citizenship. She addresses campaigns ranging from domestic
violence, rape, pornography and son preference and sets them within
a wider analysis of the position of women within the Indian state.
The strengths and limitations of law reform for women are addressed
as well as whether legal feminisms relating to law and women's
legal rights are effective in the Indian context. The question of
whether legal campaigns can make positive changes in women's lives
or whether they further legitimize oppressive state patriarchies is
considered. The recasting of caste and community identities is also
assessed, as well as the rise of Hindu fundamentalism and the ways
in which feminists in India have combated and confronted these
challenges. Indian Feminisms will interest researchers and students
in the areas of feminism, law, women's movements and social
movements in India, and South Asia more generally.
