Answer:

Women’s Movements in India!

The term “women’s movement” does not refer to any one single, unified movement, or entity. It is made of several movements based on a wide range of issues. It involves using of different approaches at various points of time. It is a term used in recognition of the “feel that all these movements” are working in some way or the other towards the eman­cipation of women.

These movements aim at reformulation of public life, the educational sphere, the workplace, and the home; in short, they aim at total transformation of soci­ety. Women’s movements can be termed as conscious and collective movements that try to deal with a set of problems and needs specific to women. These needs or problems are, in turn, created by a socio-cultural system that categorically puts them at a disadvantage in comparison to men. According to Urvashi Butalia.

Thousands of years ago, in 800 BC, legend has it that Gargi, a woman philosopher led a philosophical tournament in the court of the Hindu king Janaka. She challenged a newly arrived competitor, Yajnavalkya, a man. She is reported to have said: “Just as an expert archer attacks his enemy with piercing arrows, held at hand, so I assail you with two test questions. Answer them if you can”.

Defeated by the questions, Yajnavalkya took recourse to the same answer men have used for thousands of years: He told Gargi to-simply shut up. Thousands of years later, the number of challenges thrown up by women to men who have for long held the reigns, of power, has multiplied many times over.

There is no lon­ger one Gargi, standing alone in an assembly of men and posing two questions. Instead, Gargi’s descendents run into thousands. They have thousands of questions, and they no longer stand-alone. Nor are they any longer willing to be shut up.

According to Rajendra Singh, any theoretical perspective for studying women’s movements and their strategy should include the following propositions:

In general, resistance and protests against unjust structures of power and the insti­tutions of patriarchy and patriarchal oppression of women begins with the oppressions themselves. These oppressions are ever-present and ubiquitous (widespread).

Women have put up resistance because of generally silent and unorganized disenchantments, suppressed feelings of rejection, and of gender injustice in the patriarchal societies. These factors have led women to oppose erosion of identity at an individual level, and can result in an organized outburst taking the form of manifest women’s move­ments.

An ideology that rejects the negatively defined authority, leadership, mobilization, and communication emerges. The progress from an unorganized and silent individual resistance to an open and organized women’s move­ment is uneven and difficult. It is also difficult for an individual resistor to become a part of an organized movement.

The women’s studies of the 1970s and 1980s shifted focus from the perspective of family, marriage, socialization, or social status to treating them as autonomous human beings. The emphasis today is on women’s identity, consciousness, their subjectivity, and the bio-psychological foundations of their personality.
