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.
