Social struggles in India target both the state and private
corporations. Three subaltern struggles against development in
Gujarat, India, succeeded, to varying degrees, due to legalism from
below and translocal solidarity, but that success has been
compromised by its gendered geographies. Based on extensive field
research, this book examines the reasons for the three social
movements succeess. It analyses the contradictory reality of the
deepening of democracy along with coercive state measures in the
era of neoliberal development, the importance of the legal changes
in the state, the nature of the local fields of protest, and the
translocal field of protest in contemporary subaltern protests.
Addressing gender inequalities within and outside the struggle, the
author shows that despite subaltern women having symbolic
visibility in the public spaces of the struggles - such as rallies,
protests, and meetings with government officials - they are absent
from the private spaces of decision-making and collective
dialogues. This book offers a new approach on the politics of
social movements in contemporary India by discussing the nuanced
relationship between development and democracy, social justice and
gender justice. It will be of interest to academics in the field of
Development and Gender studies, Studies of social movements and
South Asian Studies.
