This article posits that gendered militarized labour, women’s everyday entrepreneurialism and political mobilizations around subnational autonomy are intricately linked. To understand the relationship between these entities, one needs to zero in on the generational dynamics of women’s collective engagement in upholding the martial identity of Gorkhas, and the consequences of such preoccupation on the legibility of Gorkha subjects vis-à-vis the Indian state. To locate the specificity of women’s collective engagements with Gorkhaland, I propose a de-essentialized intersectional perspective in drawing up my framework of ‘subnational enterprise’. I draw from Black Feminist scholarship on the nuances of mothering and community work, strains of Feminist International Relations perspectives that attend to the invisibility of gendered labour in situations of conflict, and the emerging feminist work on entrepreneurialism which emphasize its socio-psychological aspects. My framework of subnational enterprise draws on 16 years of longitudinal ethnographic work in urban and rural areas of Darjeeling, and in this piece, I draw on life history interviews as well as unstructured interviews with men and women in Darjeeling. I advocate for grounded explorations of the relationship between militarization, discourses of belonging and gender identity to explain how right and left agendas jostle within a regional autonomy movement.

地方企业:戈尔卡兰斗争中的军事化母亲,妇女创业劳动和世代动力学

本文认为,性别军事化的劳动,妇女的日常企业家精神和围绕地方自治的政治动员有着千丝万缕的联系。要了解这些实体之间的关系,需要零距离了解妇女集体参与维护戈尔喀什人的军事身份的代际动力,以及这种关注对戈尔喀什族人相对于印度国家的可读性的影响。为了确定妇女与戈尔卡兰的集体参与的特殊性,我在拟定我的“地方企业”框架时提出了一种脱离本质的交叉观点。我从黑人女性主义奖学金中汲取了关于母亲和社区工作的细微差别的信息,在冲突情况下,性别主义劳动的隐形化引起了女性主义国际关系观点的变迁,企业家精神的新兴女权主义工作也着重强调了其社会心理方面。我的地方企业框架借鉴了大吉岭城市和农村地区16年的民族志纵向工作,在这篇文章中,我借鉴了生活史访谈以及对大吉岭男女的非结构化访谈。我主张对军事化,归属问题和性别认同之间的关系进行有基础的探索,以解释左右议程在区域自治运动中是如何争吵的。我的地方企业框架借鉴了大吉岭城市和农村地区16年的民族志纵向工作,在这篇文章中,我借鉴了生活史访谈以及对大吉岭男女的非结构化访谈。我主张对军事化,归属问题和性别认同之间的关系进行有基础的探索,以解释左右议程在区域自治运动中是如何争吵的。我的地方企业框架借鉴了大吉岭城市和农村地区16年的民族志纵向工作,在这篇文章中,我借鉴了生活史访谈以及对大吉岭男女的非结构化访谈。我主张对军事化,归属问题和性别认同之间的关系进行有基础的探索,以解释左右议程在区域自治运动中是如何争吵的。
