Indian Feminism
Indian feminism refers to the movement advocating for women's rights and gender equality in India. It addresses various issues such as discrimination, violence against women, and access to education and healthcare. Indian feminism is influenced by the country's diverse cultures, religions, and social structures, leading to a unique approach that considers local contexts.
The movement has historical roots, with figures like Savitribai Phule and Kamla Bhasin playing significant roles in promoting women's rights. Contemporary Indian feminism encompasses various strands, including Dalit feminism and eco-feminism, which focus on the intersectionality of gender with caste, class, and environmental issues.
