Abstract
WOMEN AND COMMUNITY: A CASE STUDY OF KHAP PANCHAYATS IN HARYANA
CHARUSHEEL TRIPATHI
Volume: 7 Issue: 2 2017
Abstract:
The Jat community in Haryana is a staunch believer and upholder of the male chauvinistic and misogynistic norms. This ideological background is maintained by the patriarchal surveillance of the Khap Panchayats or caste panchayats. The term paper focuses on the three pillars of politics of control, honour and progress, that assist in the stable existence of a “gendered homeostasis” and a “parallel state” in these panchayats, despite the constant struggle and challenges against these „kangaroo courts‟, which according to the supreme court are „wholly illegal‟.
