Political Feminism in India: An Analysis of Actors, Debates and Strategies

Abstract

The present study analyzes the current feminist actors, organizations and debates around gender equality and feminist perspectives in order to provide an overview of feminist ideas and actors in the country. It shows that Feminism today is the constant questioning of the world we perceive and the boundaries we encounter. There are innumerable new energies arising from different positions transforming the feminist field: new contestations of patriarchy and new contestations of the normative feminism itself. It will be the interplay of fields that might change the system altogether.
