Save Silent Valley Movement: An Ecofeminist Perspective Dr. Anjali Shivhare, Assistant Professor, Jagat Taran Girls’ Degree College, Prayagraj, Uttar pradesh India | |
India has had a history of non-violent resistance against the state actions. Her journey of environmental protection and resistances has always remained non-violent, beginning from the Bishnoi Movement in the eighteenth century in the colonial India, for protection of their Khejari trees to the post-colonial movements like Chipko and Narmada Bachao. Save Silent Valley movement also shares a similar trajectory wherein through peaceful methods, the locals protested against the big dam and the hydro-electricity project. This paper seeks to analyse the role of women in these protests and to see the movement with an ecofeminist lens. | |
