It shows that women members of the Indian Constituent Assembly had painstakingly co-authored a Constitution that embodied a moral imagination developed by years of feminist politics. This book traces the genealogies of several constitutional provisions to argue that, without the interventions of these women framers, the Constitution would have been much lesser than the celebrated document of rights and statecraft that it is. Situating these interventions in the larger trajectory of Indian feminism in which they are rooted, in the nationalist discourse with which they perpetually negotiated, and in the larger human rights discourse of the 1940s, it shows that the women members of the Indian Constituent Assembly were much more than the 'founding mothers' of a republic"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a India. $b Constituent Assembly 650 0 $a Constitutional history $z India $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women political activists $z India $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z India $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Asia / South / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Constitutional law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875797 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Women legislators. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178102 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 648 7 $a Since 1947 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Chetan, Achyut. $t Founding mothers of the Indian republic $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2022 $z 9781108961547 $w (DLC) 2022038104 830 0 $a South Asia in the social sciences 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011836.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=55AA78C62E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
