Abstract

Through a reading of Gulaab Gang and Dil Se, the paper examines how underrepresentedwomen from the margins of the post-independent Indian society understand genderedviolence and intercept the mainstream political and nationalistic events. The two filmsrevolve around females that occupy marginal positions in ethnic, caste, and ideologicalterms. They are juxtaposed for understanding how they differently consider the questions 35of bodily love and violence, agency of the oppressed female body or its lack thereof, andthe position of the female antagonist in a counter-authoritarian space. The study looksinto the ideas of death desire and retribution through suicide and killings and the ways inwhich they shape "me-too" responses for women in both the films. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
