Question

Assertion (A) : Feminists have been more fragmented on diverse issues in India than ever before in Post independence period.
Reason (R) : Feminists have not been able to indentify any common issue or even attempted to identify a common and significant issue to promote women’s equality.
Which of the following is correct ?
Codes :

The correct answer is
(A) is correct, (R) is wrong.

Evaluating Assertion (A): Feminist Fragmentation

The Assertion (A) states that feminists in post-independence India have become increasingly fragmented. Feminist movements globally and within India have often experienced internal debates and differing perspectives on issues related to caste, class, religion, and political strategy. This diversity of viewpoints can lead to fragmentation. Therefore, the assertion that feminists have been more fragmented is considered correct in the context of post-independence India's complex social and political landscape.

Evaluating Reason (R): Identifying Common Issues

The Reason (R) claims that feminists have failed to identify any common issue or even attempt to do so for promoting women's equality. This statement is overly strong and inaccurate. While fragmentation exists, feminist movements have consistently rallied around core issues such as legal rights, political representation, economic opportunities, and freedom from violence. The very goal of promoting "women's equality" implies a shared objective, even if the approaches differ. Therefore, the reason that feminists have not identified common issues is incorrect.

Conclusion

Based on the analysis:

  • Assertion (A) is correct.
  • Reason (R) is incorrect.

Thus, the correct option is that (A) is correct and (R) is wrong.
