Explore the pivotal Naxalbari movement in India’s postcolonial history with “Gender and Radical Politics in India: Magic Moments of Naxalbari (1967-1975)”. This Routledge Studies in South Asian History volume delves into the radical communist uprising, its inspiration from Marxist-Leninist revolutionary theory, and its impact on youth across diverse social backgrounds. Discover the often-overlooked gendered dimensions of this powerful movement, analyzing women’s significant participation, their motivations, activism, and experiences with violence. Drawing on extensive ethnographic and archival research, this book argues that women viewed their revolutionary engagement as a period of emancipation and ‘magic moments’. It offers a crucial contribution to understanding radical politics and the role of women within it in South Asia, placing the Naxalbari movement within its broader historical context.
