Т. 2. Азия и Африка: Наследие и современность

XX. Круглый стол 358 Азия и Африка: наследие и современность. Т. 2 Even though, at the first sight, it might look like a small movement confined with middle-class female students who live in hostels, careful analysis of posts in their pages in Social Media (Facebook and Twitter) and the street art and actions show, that “Pinjra Tod” is interconnected with other protest groups, not only those of feminist nature (“Take back the night”, “Gils at Dhabas”, “Why Loiter”), but also different social and political ones (they support dalits and movements for the freedom of Kashmir). At the same time, the movement is involving lower cast and class people, male students, and even university workers. Moreover, even though it was started in one of the Delhi universities (Jamia Milia Islamia) by three girls, who were not let in the hostel by guards 5 minutes after the curfew, it took over universities in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai and in Kerala state. After taking off with actions against curfews, these girls started to collect data and stories of other people, proving discrimination towards female students in all the spheres of their lives. As a result, they led off by fighting against all sorts of discrimination in universities, organizing marches, hearings, official reports to different committees, creating a wave in the Social Media and showing that they are not afraid of the consequences. They find empowerment and inspiration in previous global and today’s local feminist movements and in strong famous characters and personalities. Analyzing their activities helps to understand that having clear set-up goals doesn’t make it a small-scale feminist movement, as the main battle is defined with the accepted way of protecting women by infantilising them. The research proves that such small and local “revolutions” have considerable weight in the social struggle. Being not so numerous in quantity of participants, “Pinjra Tod” confronts not only administration of universities, but, basically, traditional values of the Indian society, and it gains hearing along with visible results. These girls imperil not only their place in hostels and universities but their own reputation, which is still considered as one of the pillars of stability and prosperity of traditional Indian society. Today their actions might seem irrelevant for some people, but in the course of time the situation may change, as the movement has a huge room to grow. Ахматшина Э. К.
