Women and Violence in India
Author: Tamsin Bradley
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786731185
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
India's endemic gender-based violence has received increased international scrutiny and provoked waves of domestic protest and activism. In recent years, related studies on India and South Asia have proliferated but their analyses often fail to identify why violence flourishes. Unwilling to simply accept patriarchy as the answer, Tamsin Bradley presents new research examining how different groups in India conceptualise violence against women, revealing beliefs around religion, caste and gender that render aggression socially acceptable. She also analyses the role that neoliberalism, and its corollary consumerism, play in reducing women to commodity objects for barter or exchange. Unpacking varied conservative, liberal and neoliberal ideologies active in India today, Bradley argues that they can converge unexpectedly to normalise violence against women. Due to these complex and overlapping factors, rates of violence against women in India have actually increased despite decades of feminist campaigning. This book will be crucial to those studying Indian gender politics and violence, but also presents new data and methodologies which have practical implications for researchers and policymakers worldwide.

Courting Injustice
Author: Rajesh Talwar
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 9381398585
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
In this partnership between so-called equals, which can be compared to a polyandrous marriage, the Supreme Court is the woman and Parliament and the Executive her two husbands, one more loutish that the other, depending on your point of view. In the Nirbhaya case too the gap between theory and law has been highlighted. Following the terrible episode, (and even before) there has been continual and great improvement in the substantive laws for both women as well as children who have been victims of sexual violence. And yet despite their being so much publicity on the case, the author argues that, concretely, although there has been improvement in the laws themselves, we are nowhere near better enforcement or implementation. Even after the institution of a fast track trial, and with the nation’s attention focused on it, the Nirbhaya case still dragged on and it took more than nine months for the trial court to reach a verdict. And, as the author explains there are still potentially further delays waiting at the level of the superior courts, the High Court certainly and the Supreme Court too, quite possibly. As the author goes on to show in this well argued book, a woman who is the victim of a sex related crime ‘courts injustice’ whenever she comes to a court, be she the victim of a rape, an acid attack, of sexual harassment; the mother or father of such a victim or be it even any ordinary person struggling to find justice. Our courts, particularly the Supreme Court is performing the function of a nagging wife. Time and again she pulls up the lazy, good-for-nothing husbands (read ‘failure of governance’). And what does either husband do? He goes for a walk, ignoring the wife’s anguished screams even as they follow him. If she complains too much, he tells himself, he’ll see to it that she doesn’t get the silk sari and other goodies she wants (read ‘promotions’, ‘post retirement assignments’, etc). It is only one of the ways he ensures that she doesn’t step too much out of line. All wives nag, he consoles himself. Nagging here and there is tolerable but she must make sure that he gets his meals on time (read ‘doesn’t bar him from contesting elections even if there are a dozen or more criminal cases pending against him’). Meanwhile the overzealous wife doesn’t realize that while she rails and rants against the erring ways of her husband, the dishes are piling up in the kitchen. And the maid has gone away for six months and the dishes, they are piling up (read, the arrears are accumulating)! The time has come. It cannot continue to remain ‘business as usual’. There will be justice for Nirbhaya. Our ‘brave heart’ will also bring justice and relief to all her sisters. And possibly, even to the rest of us.

I Am What I Am
Author: Ester Rani Thin Sin
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1636335217
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 63
Book Description
This is a book based on real events that I witnessed in my life and some observations I found during my field visit for non-academic research on women empowerment in some villages under districts of upper, middle and lower Assam of India. The day my first menstruation began, I saw my mother and grandmother crying behind the door. I thought I was going to die as the flow of blood was increasing. As days passed, I passed a certain milestone in my development, both mentally and physically. My parents, especially my mother and aunts, became more conscious over my dress up, my going out of the house, my friends, etc. I thought I was more special to them than my brother, but later when their caring grew more and more, I started feeling suffocated and a protestant mind started budding inside me. I started thinking it was a curse to be a girl when I had to sacrifice my favourite dress, my favourite place and even my favourite games and many more, after getting stuck by my elders and parents. I get so confused on the changing behaviour of the society; one side people praise us for our success and on another, the same people show us red eyes when we work hard for it, take our time to get into it. “It is not possible to change our surroundings but we may change ourselves to get adjusted to it.” This is what my grandmother and my mother did in their lives; they adjusted to the situations by bearing everything and not facing it or fighting it. By bearing silently, they made the well of offences deeper, that they might fail to come out of it even they tried. That is the reason why they cried on my first menstruation. They are not gratified to be a woman and maybe scared if I have to go through the troubles they faced in their lives, so they cared too much for me, which created so many restrictions in my life. I Am What I Am will give an overview of the struggle a female foetus getting born and living as a human. In a democratic country, why do only women have to fight to live equally? Why do we need to feel guilty even if we get victimized? Can we live as we are, as we like?

The Edge of Power
Author: Tuhin Sinha
Publisher: Hachette India
ISBN: 9350097087
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
The heinous rape of Nirbhaya has jolted the Indian nation out of its apathy. But rape and violence against women are only symptomatic of a deeper malaise that ails the nation ? the total collapse of governance under the weak and vacillating prime minister, Devender Singh, and his Indian Democratic Party. Ironically, aiding the ruling party to cling to power is a casual and largely indifferent Opposition, led by the venal Ravi Nehra. So when activist Daivik Verma and Bollywood?s leading lady Catherine Khan decide to challenge the existing system by floating a new political party, it is seen as a ray of hope. But lack of funds and cadre-support thwart their efforts; their only recourse now is to approach the enigmatic and reclusive Shruti Ranjan, who had sworn off politics three years earlier. Will Nirbhaya?s gruesome rape and subsequent death bring a disillusioned Shruti Ranjan back into the political fray? Will the land of great leaders like Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka and Akbar, finally get the dynamic Prime Minister she so badly needs? Featuring Shruti Ranjan ? the immensely popular protagonist of the best-selling The Edge of Desire ? in a resurgent avatar, The Edge of Power is a powerful enquiry into the underbelly of Indian politics, and raises important questions about the funding of Indian political parties.

Into the Matrix of Insights
Author: Shukla Bhattacharya
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666764124
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
This book is a cluster of poems transpired by the whispers of a vision derived from a series of insights—sometimes crazily inspired by William Wordsworth, many a time minutely invoked by Ezra Pound. Life offers situations that are purely mystic—while in the midst of a freezing wrath, one may discover soul-saving songs from specs of sand, warm beneath the feet, there are times when honeymoon enterprises turn precarious. Interestingly, it is the latter that most of us get poignantly stuck to—the reason possibly being Melancholic notes—based on some form of a collective consciousness. In case of the former, maybe it is then when the wise, enlightened, brightest intellect metamorphoses into Wordsworth. While sunflowers are enchanting, albeit seldom seen, Shukla Bhattacharya’s poetry sunnily reminisces, echoing a pleasing choreography of moral convictions. Get set with your casket; fetch the perennial power of a beaming solitude; soak into the therapeutic, fascinating warmth of worthy insights!
