South Asian feminism is in crisis. Under constant attack from right-wing nationalism and religious fundamentalism and co-opted by ‘NGO-ization’ and neoliberal state agendas, once autonomous and radical forms of feminist mobilization have been ideologically fragmented and replaced. It is time to rethink the feminist political agenda for the predicaments of the present. This timely volume provides an original and unprecedented exploration of the current state of South Asian feminist politics.
