The reality of women’s lives remains invisible. For Dalit and - TopicsExpress



          

The reality of women’s lives remains invisible. For Dalit and Adivasi women this invisibility persists at every level – from family to state. Although they share a common space with others in mainstream society and have made great strides in several fields, their presence is hardly recognized. The world in which they live is characterized by an intense unequal sharing of hardship due to their geographic, economic, cultural, societal and educational location. These extensive inequalities persist in their access to education, health care, and opportunities in the political, cultural, social and economical spheres. This paper documents subjectively the content of the National Dalit and Adivasis Women’s Congress around the articulations of three women; Abhinaya Kamble on Dalits, Razia Patel on Muslim NT/DNT and Gomati Bodra on Adivasis. It explores the scope for confronting these invisible realities through a gender and Dalit/Adivasi perspective and seeks to incorporate the standpoint of Dalit and Adivasi women into the process of critical, emancipatory knowledge creation by locating this discourse within the Ambedkarite framework of liberation. dalitweb.org/savari_resources/2013/10/21/reflections-on-a-quest-to-reclaim-visibility/
