Some
Conclusions
In
conclusion I would like to say that the Blanknoise Project may not
give us an exact indication of where the Indian women’s movement is
heading, but this is feel is because as discussed earlier, the
movement itself is fragmenting into a specific issue based, class
specific one and hence there is no one direction that can be
observed. However I feel this itself shows us that the era of mass
movement’s is over and that due to the issues taken up and the
present needs and nature of society the movement has to change in
these ways. The Blank Noise Project not only shows us how the nature
of a movement is a response/ depends on the larger feminist movement,
but also that the reason it is able to survive is due to the larger
feminist conciousness brought about as a result of the ‘mainstream’
or earlier feminist movement. The reason the Blanknoise Project is
able to work around such a specific and seemingly radical issue is
because of the groundwork that has been done since the 1950’s by
women's movement’ and feminist movement’s.
These
movements seem to be heading towards creating a civil society
of organisations that are specific in their approach and the issues
they deal with yet drawing on the social capital created by the
women’s movement so far.
