Absent Women Philosophers from Past to Present in Indian Thought: Ṛṣikās, Sarojini Naidu, and Jaishree Odin

What is it about?

This essay is an exercise of retrieval within the history of Indian thought so that works of women thinkers and philosophers that have previously been erased and undervalued can be brought to fore. The aim is to initiate a debate to critique and interrogate the male-centric and gender blind nature of knowledge. Three time periods of Indian thought have been mapped for the retrieval of women's voices, the Ṛṣikās from ancient Indian thought, Sarojini Naidu in modern Indian thought and Jaishree Odin in contemporary history of philosophy.
