Our coverage of feminist historian Uma Chakravarti’s talk at the Indian Social Action Forum’s (INSAF) event ‘Bearing Witness: Voices from Bastar’, where she exposes the happenings at Bastar. She describes the state’s instrumental role in eating up its own people, paving the way for multi-national capital, and the role of sexual violence in breaking the resistance of the people. Professor Chakravarti is a part of Women against Sexual Violence and State Repression (WSS), and has been a vociferous voice against sexual violence as a strategy to terrorise communities into silence.
