1. That women engaged with Nationalist polities despite constraints of social practices like the purdah system, backwardness and low level of female literacy. 2. That women participated in INM through two parallel processes. a) The domestication of the public sphere - women participated in the streets without compromising on their domestic values. b) The politicisation of the domestic sphere - women handled situations in their families when nationalism entered households through the activities of their husbands and sons. 3. That women used the symbolic repertoire of the INM and the political language of Gandhi to facilitate their own participation.
