“…This has often led to distorted truth about women since they have been unable to express their own concerns using their own language and theorization. Therefore, standpoint theorists do not base their research on assumptions or hypotheses formerly set but begin their scientific inquiry from the lived experience of marginalized groups who do not represent the voices of the mainstream or patriarchy [ 15 ]. Harding states: The point here is not that every poor or otherwise marginalized person already can or does ‘see the truth,’ but rather that discourses oppositional to the dominant ones can arise as marginalized groups begin to articulate their histories, needs, and desires ‘for themselves’ instead of only in the ways encouraged by their ‘masters’ favored conceptual frameworks (pp.…”

This article intends to showcase that land grabbing of gauchar (pastureland) at the village level affects women and men in differing ways, along the variables of gender and caste. The article uncovers the notion that the link among gender, caste and access to common property resources (CPRs) are deeply rooted in the power dynamics of the caste-based operating system at the informal level. Drawing on intersectionality perspective, the article explains through ethnographic data collected over a period of time, in a small rural community in Gujarat, India, that women’s social location/standing leads them to have multiple identities, which defines and alters their gender relations, norms, negotiations and access to resources, in context to land grab of CPRs. Consequently, the article argues that group-based social differences and power structures ultimately determine access to natural resources and institutional base for women from different strata of society wherein the governance structure may fall short of addressing these issues.
