This drawing traces a temporal reading of the pochè of the earth as it is inhabited by what are understood as the “feminine” and the “masculine,” shaped over time by gender roles and social perceptions. It examines how democratic spaces are not fixed in meaning, but are continuously redefined through power relations and access across genders. The timeline reveals how spaces historically coded through masculine dominance—such as chai stalls and paan shops, often described as informal democratic forums—are gradually becoming liminal. This shift reflects broader transformations in political power, cultural norms, and social negotiation in the country, suggesting that the ground itself is an active participant in the evolving balance of power rather than a neutral backdrop.
