The subtitle says it all: how and why Bollywood found it worthwhile to explore the reality of the millennial women who are thriving in India - small part of the demographics but very influential. Advertising discovered women as The Hindi film Heroine is a brand and brand ambassador. The market met contemporary women who are independent, with freer attitudes to relationships, including pre-marital sex, Rom coms of the new millennium reflect this new-found freedom, defying patriarchy that still defines our society. Globalisation is culturally irreversible. From the 1990s onwards, Bollywood has responded to globalisation with fear of loss of identity and desire to integrate with global trends. It results in popular cinema becoming glocal. Bollywood celebrates nonconformists, subversives woman as the hero, stories in their own way unequivocally said No means No. Most daringly. Iconic characters like Choti Bahu, Paro and Chandramukhi transformed into today’s women with the power to change their lives. This happened with the energy infused into the mainstream by indie filmmakers with vision and the will to tell stories in their own way.
Myriad emotions experienced through life, sometimes across a lotus pond, sometimes amidst the presence of a Guru, sometimes when watching the stars, or measuring your heart’s beats waiting to be inked lest they be lost.. That’s how this book came about.
CHECK MATE is Antara’s psychic voyage through her marriage and mate. Antara, a deep thinker and a highly intuitive character, chose to understand herself through the relationships that came her way including her conjugal partner and spiritual mate. Having judged everything around her from her strongly held perspective, she is brought to the point by her destiny, where she has to let go of all her perceptions only to deduce that the truth lies in the current moment and the existence of marriage is within oneself. There has to be inner harmony between one’s masculine and feminine energy to experience soulful marriage. Antara chose to evolve as a person through her marriage rather than calling her relationship with her mate impossible and incompatible and was able to fulfil her life’s dream while juggling between the reality and illusionary world.

In doing so, this collection initiates a scholarly discussion on manifold forms of emotional, mental, epistemic, and above all sexual violence female travelers face in male-dominated public spaces. Gendered Violence in Public Spaces therefore challenges contemporary readers to re-frame India’s public spaces against misogyny and gendered violence.
