Aesthetics of Feminism in the Poetry of Imtiaz Dharker and Charmayne D'Souza — A Critical Study

The defining aesthetic of feminist Indo-English poetry is the woman's sense of freedom, twofold — freedom of the body and freedom of the soul — expressed through symbolism and imagery rather than direct statement.

[Use when]

Censorship-proof art hides the argument in the image — the meaning survives because it cannot be quoted against the author.

[Why it matters]

Resistance poetry smuggles its politics in aesthetics — where direct speech is dangerous, the body and the soul get coded into images.
