Synopsis "Hindutva and Violence Against Women"

In this monograph, one of India's leading, most committed political andhuman rights activists examines how women's safety, dignity and security havebeen undermined in the decade since the Hindu right rose to near-absolutepower. Hindutva-the guiding philosophy of the Rashtriya SwayamsewakSangh (RSS), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the rest of the SanghParivar-is at its core a majoritarian, militant and regressive thought systemthat draws inspiration from casteist, communal and misogynistic texts andideologues. While injustice in cases of violence against women is not new inIndia, writes Brinda Karat, the political supremacy of Hindutva since 2014has changed the nature and extent of this injustice. The religious identities ofthe victims and the perpetrators determine the approach of powerful leadersand their governments, the police, and, increasingly, the courts. This createsnew rape cultures that ultimately affect the processes of justice for all women.Examining some of the most horrific instances of majoritarian violence againstwomen and the official response (or lack of it) to them-the release of BilkisBano's rapists; campaigns in favour of the men who brutalized little AsifaBano; the covert cremation of the body of the Hathras victim; the rape andmurder of Kuki women in Manipur-Karat shows how, when sexual crimesare communalized, women of oppressed castes are denied justice just aswomen of religious and ethnic minorities are.Impassioned, rigorous and forthright, this is a necessary book for our times.
