Case Study - 9 to 13 (Question Id - 7)
Consciousness, one could argue, cannot come from dance alone, or from any art form or discipline, though it is through the specific nuances and tonalities of a form or discipline that consciousness can resonate. One can be sure that having returned to dance, Chandra did not enclose herself in an ivory tower. Rather, along with her micropolitical explorations of the body, she continued to ignite debates in social forums, as, for instance, on the contradictory dynamics of recontextualizing a secular feminist imagery from Hindu religious icons and symbols, prone to fundamentalist readings. Chandra challenged the didactic.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Imperatives of Indian feminism, and its penchant for black-and-white, 'fist' imagery, which she regarded as an anti-aesthetic and deculturalized politics. Countering the secular fears of fundamentalist appropriation and the demand to represent the cultural symbols of religious minorities on an equitable basis, Chandra refused to surrender her love for those symbols, images, icons and colours that were marked 'Hindu'. Rather, her strategy was to claim the multitudinous diversities and ambivalences of so-called 'Hindu' resources to indicate their own subversive contents and contradictory meanings.
