This book describes the changing landscape of women's politics for
equality and liberation during the rise of neoliberalism in India.
Between 1991 and 2006, the doctrine of liberalization guided Indian
politics and economic policy. These neoliberal measures vastly
reduced poverty alleviation schemes, price supports for poor
farmers, and opened India's economy to the unpredictability of
global financial fluctuations. During this same period, the All
India Democratic Women's Association, which directly opposed the
ascendance of neoliberal economics and policies, as well as the
simultaneous rise of violent casteism and anti-Muslim communalism,
grew from roughly three million members to over ten million.
Beginning in the late 1980s, AIDWA turned its attention to women's
lives in rural India. Using a method that began with activist
research, the organization developed a sectoral analysis of groups
of women who were hardest hit in the new neoliberal order,
including Muslim women, and Dalit (oppressed caste) women. AIDWA
developed what leaders called inter-sectoral organizing, that
centered the demands of the most vulnerable women into the heart of
its campaigns and its ideology for social change. Through long-term
ethnographic research, predominantly in the northern state of
Haryana and the southern state of Tamil Nadu, this book shows how a
socialist women's organization built its oppositional strength by
organizing the women most marginalized by neoliberal policies and
economics.
