I argue in #FearlessFreedom: Reimagine #RakshaBandhan, not as a shackle but as a bond where siblings protect each other. Protect your sibling who wants to come out as gay or trans. Uncouple protectiveness from restrictions on women’s rights. @thewire_in thewire.in/women/intervie…
My book #FearlessFreedom (@PenguinIndia 2020) discusses #RakshaBandhan as part of the patriarchal ideology of guardianship. The same ideology that plays out in Saudi Arabia guardianship & rape laws. We need to reminagine #rakhicelebration as #SamaantaWaliRakhi ImageImageImageImage
On #RakshaBandhan we should celebrate the women who became sisters in struggle - like Fatima Sheikh and Savitri Bai, like Satyarani Chaddha and Shahjahan Apa. Page from #FearlessFreedom, my book (@PenguinIndia 2020)
