Read the passage below and asnswer the following questions
The Naxal dominated districts in India not only have some of the worst human development as well as economic indicators in India - but equally that the communities living there have been victims of injustice, “Atyachar”, as Amartya Sen would say, something deeper and broader than Neeti, law. This has been the underlay for the armed conflict.
The views of women, active in both the theoretical and practical processes of peacemaking, suggest the need to move beyond simply incorporating a ‘women’s perspective’ or claiming that their societal roles give them generic values in peace building. The argument of this paper is that it is only through building economically just and politically democratic systems that enduring peace can be put on the ground, and that women’s particular experience of injustice, their reconstruction of economic reasoning, as well as their special location and experience in grassroots and community oriented work, gives them both the intellectual and practical skills for building those peaceful spaces. In that sense Gandhi’s thought: ‘The women of India should have as much share in winning ‘Swaraj’ as men. Probably in this peaceful struggle woman can outdistance man by many a mile.’ It is sophisticated and appropriate, in a sense that he first posits equality of presence and then the firmness of women, who can outdistance men.
