Rethinking Feminism from Indian Perspectives

As part of our mission to connect the ancient Indian wisdom to modern-day challenges and highlight the relevance of the wisdom of Indian cultural and spiritual traditions to address the problems of our times, we have designed a research-based course content for a Women’s Studies course, which has been approved and offered through Pondicherry University. 

The research and course development work was done by Dr. Beloo Mehra, who also taught the course at the university in 2019.
