Abstract
The article uses the narratives of the members of Pinjra Tod, a student-led movement against nigh-time curfews, moral surveillance and other constraint imposed on young women, within the urban Indian universities. The visuals produced by the struggle within the Delhi University are used to understand how the spatial control of women is a historical phenomenon, that constructs the body of women students as partial students and citizens through the use of institutional power mechanisms. The movement provides women an avenue to access the university public space as active political students as opposed to victims in need of protection and provide an alternative imagination of womanhood.
