Economic & Political WeeklySummary: This paper investigates the critical role played by feminist networks within Muslim women’s movements in India, focusing on the organising work of the Bebaak Collective. It employs dissent within movement spaces as an analytical tool to examine how solidarities, interpersonal differences, and political visions converge during feminist networking. Unlike traditional anthropological approaches that emphasize kinship or relatedness, this study highlights feminist networks founded on shared visions of law and rights. Ethnographic evidence situates these networks within broader struggles for minority and gender rights, illustrating how Muslim women’s movements have become increasingly visible in protests against citizenship laws, hijab bans, and sexual harassment. The paper underscores the dynamic interplay between feminist network-building and legal advocacy, positioning dissent as a catalyst for solidarity and agency among diverse stakeholders in India’s socio-political landscape. The critical role played by feminist networks within Muslim women’s movements is investigated. This paper examines the Bebaak Collective’s organising work to build networks; employing dissent within movement spaces as an analytical tool, the inner dynamics where solidarities, interpersonal differences, and political
visions find common ground during feminist networking are examined. While anthropologists traditionally explore community formation through kinship networks or various forms of relatedness, this paper presents an examination of feminist networks founded on shared visions of law and rights. – Reproduced
