The Kerala way of development and what the State has achieved cannot be seen as divorced from what is happening in the rest of the country, Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Brinda Karat has said.
She was speaking at a seminar ‘Gender and development in Kerala,’ organised by the Women and Child Development department in connection with Keraleeyam, here on Sunday.
Ms. Karat said that when talking about gender and development and challenges that women faced, it was necessary to take into account the power of forces ranged against that.
