The Naxal
dominated districts in India also hold the same distinction they not only have
some of the worst human development as well as economy indicators in India but
equally that the communities living there have been victims of injustice (Anayaya),
as Amartya Sen would say, Some thing deeper and broader than niti & law. This
has been the underlay for the armed conflict. The views of women, active in both
the theoretical and practical processes of peacemaking, suggest the need to move
beyond simply incorporating a ‘women’s perspective’ or claiming that their
societal roles give them generic values in peace building. The argument of this
paper is that it is only through building economically just and politically
democratic system that enduring peace can be put on the ground, and that women’s
particular experience of injustice, their reconstruction of economic reasoning,
as well as their special location and experience in grass roots and community
oriented wake, gives them both the intellectual and practical skills for
building those peaceful spaces. In that sense Gandhi’s thought was that ‘the
women of India should have as much share in wining swaraj as men. Probably in
this peaceful struggle women can outride man by many a mile, is sophisticated
and appropriate, for that she first posits equality of presence and then the
firmness of women can outdistance men.
