Don’t Know About Feminism in India

Every year around International Women’s Day, corporations suddenly remember that women exist. They post inspirational graphics, run aggressively mediocre ad campaigns, and pretend a century of labour struggles, suffrage movements, and fights for basic rights can be summarised in a pastel Instagram tile. This episode starts with that frustration and then moves somewhere much more interesting: the history of women-led movements in India that actually tried to change material conditions for women. Along the way, we also talk about the uncomfortable reality that feminism has always struggled with class and caste divisions. Even progressive movements have often been led by relatively privileged women, leaving the most marginalised communities to fight for representation inside the movement itself. This episode mixes comedy commentary, offbeat learning, and quirky insights into the history of socialist-feminist organising in India. It’s lighthearted education only in the sense that we try to keep the tone conversational while discussing extremely serious issues, everything from caste violence to climate displacement and gender-based violence globally. And if International Women’s Day is going to mean anything at all, it probably has to start there. Important links: 1. Bharat Stree Mahamandal - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bharat_... 2.

Don’t Know, Do Care is the brainchild of Ashmita, Sandy, and Prakhar, three friends from different backgrounds and interests. Ashmita works in sustainability, Sandy's an entrepreneur (puke) who’d rather not be, and Prakhar works with Sandy and is just trying to make sense of it all.  Three mildly confused friends, one weirdly specific topic each week. We don’t know much, but we care just enough to talk about it for up to an hour each week. Don’t Know, Do Care is produced by "Ghar Pe Productions", edited by Prakhar and Sandy, critiqued (thoroughly) by Ashmita, and enjoyed mostly by our friends. Thanks for giving us a listen!
