520 _aThe present research paper aims to give an account of violence engaging with both sociological and political strands of conceptual and definitional debates. In this process, the paper engages with the multiple dimensions & types of violence. The research paper’s central argument is that violence is a multi-layered concept anchored in the diverse socio-economic specificities. Taking into account that violence is more that mere physical and ‘bodily’ hurt, the research paper also engages with Pierre Bourdieu’s writings on symbolic power & symbolic violence. It emerges from the discourse on violence that the acts of violence may be experienced by the victims / survivors ‘willingly’ without any effective opposition as these are ‘internalized’ by those who suffer. Such ‘normalcy’ of violence makes it difficult to discern its content and context. Furthermore, the gender dimension of violence is sketched through the Violence Against Women (VAW) framework. The paper addresses such related issues.- Reproduced
