Intersectional Perspective of Feminist Historiography A defining feature of Indian feminist historiography is its emphasis on intersectionality, which recognizes that gender cannot be understood in isolation from other axes of identity such as caste, class, and religion. Dalit feminist scholars like Sharmila Rege and Uma Chakravarti have been at the forefront of this approach, highlighting the ways in which caste hierarchies have historically marginalized Dalit women (Rege, 2006; Chakravarti, 2006). Works such as Writing Caste/Writing Gender: Narrating Dalit Women’s Testimonios (Rege, 2006) have brought attention to the unique struggles and resilience of Dalit women, challenging the upper-caste biases that have often dominated Indian feminist discourse. |
