Nearly three decades ago, I was in conversation with some of the rural women in a remote village on the borders of India and Pakistan, in Kutch. I asked them, “Do you know who Gandhiji was?” My question was met with blank looks. Some nodded hesitantly.
“Who is he?” I asked.
One of the women quickly said, “He’s God.” Another one thumped her, saying, “He’s not God!” A third woman also felt that the characterisation was slightly inflated. She said, “Nahin nahin, ek fakir tha.” (He was a saint). Another one quickly added, “Bahut bada aadmi tha.” (No no, he was a very big man).
I asked a woman who sat quietly in the corner, what she thought. “Mujhe itna pata hain, joh bhi the, voh sarkari aadmi nahin the.” (I know this much, whatever he was, he was not a government person).
And the entire group agreed immediately.
This woman spoke more about herself than about Gandhiji. Speaking entirely from her subjective experience, the response carried with it not so much an accurate identity of who Gandhiji was, as much as an accurate representation of her experience with ‘sarkars’. With one line, she spoke volumes on why she considered herself outside the circle of development.
This incident offers us some deep learnings. About individual women who live on the edges of life. Who represents them? What are they excluded from? And why do they find themselves outside the ‘circle of development’?
