    MODERNIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT : PERSPECTIVES FROM SOUTH ASIA

    APURVA ROY M.A. II YEAR 1201024914

    ABSTRACT

    Tentative Title. Through the Lens of Gender : A Comparative Analysis of Maoism in


    Nepal and India

    Maoism refers to the vision, ideology and political viewpoint of Mao Zedong aka
    Mao Tsetung popularly, that includes the collective aspects of Marxist Leninist
    theories, military strategies and political policies. Maoists movements in South Asia,
    primarily in Nepal and India, emerged from the systematic and continued exclusion
    of the marginalised, wherein state power was sought to be overtaken through the
    ‘barrel of the gun’. The paper attempts to look at Maoism in these two countries from
    the lens of feminist epistemology, i.e. it tries to look at the position of women in
    Maoist struggles, policies and strategies. Feminist theory has engaged with the
    question of experience and has looked at it as a potential source for the development
    of ‘sisterhood’ which entails collective resistance against patriarchal norms and
    institutions. Joan Scott in her essay on ‘Experience’ talks about the construction of
    experience and links it to the ideological systems that are involved in the creation of
    the Self which informs group-experience and identity. The Subject has agency,
    created through the context of their situation, and status that is conferred on them.
    Situations and the status of the subject determines the choices and resources that are
    available to them. These contexts have been called ‘faculties of human existence’ by
    Simone de Beauvoir and include our social milieu. The paper aims to ascertain the
    contributions of female agency to the Maoist movements in India and Nepal through
    a comparative lens, keeping in mind the different contextual realities of the
    emergence of the Maoist Movement in both countries.
