This book examines the operational dynamics of patriarchy that is
deeply woven into the Indian cultural fabric and its persistence in
spite of women advancing in Human Development Indices. In studying
the situation of women of the Catholic Syrian Christian community
of Kerala, South India, as a case of analysis, Kochurani Abraham
identifies caste consciousness and religious prescriptions of this
community as the main factors that intersect with gendered identity
construction and succeed in keeping women within its patriarchal
confines. While women do engage in negotiating patriarchy through
what can be termed simulative, tactical, and 'agensic' bargains,
this remains a 'politics of survival' as it does not challenge the
established gender order. In this context, making a shift from
'politics of survival' to a 'politics of subversion' is imperative
for challenging persisting patriarchies.
