Feminist scholar and activist Gail Omvedt’s legacy endures – not just in her writings, but in every act of courage that defies the logic of caste. Dr Ruhi Khan, Professor Shakuntala Banaji and Professor Meena Dhanda reflect on Somnath Waghmare’s film Gail and Bharat, which ensures that Omvedt’s story, beautifully entwined with that of her activist husband Bharat Patankar, remains part of India’s collective memory.
