Gatha

Studies on caste, religion and gender have evolved dynamically over the past few decades in India. Yet the events of the year 2016 have pushed us towards a more dynamic analysis from an intersectional lens; both caste and communal politics are fused together by the discrimination within universities of Dalits and religious minorities. In an ethos where seeking justice becomes anti-national and anti-Indian culture, neither patriarchy, nor caste, nor religion can be studied from a singular framework.

Gatha believes in looking at these disciplines keeping in mind the systemic and structural biases in an attempt to unpack various elements of intersectionality. Gatha hopes to provide a space for dissent, resistance and freedom for academic thought and scholarship in this stead. We hope to receive work from individuals who are as enthusiastic and passionate about unravelling these disciplines through an intersectional framework and look forward to engaging with you. Apart from academic work, the blog also features stories, personal narratives, poems, open letters, photos essays, short films. For more details check our Submission Guidelines.
