Abstract
ABSTRACT Exploring the governance of intimacy of the Maoist insurgencies in India and Nepal, the article aims to offer a window into this intimate social constitution by comparing the governance of marriage and sexuality, thereby examining the inherent contradictions in radical violent politics. Based on fieldwork in Nepal and India and employing ‘critical feminist curiosity’ as a theoretical framework and methodological tool, it offers a comparative analysis of rebel politics of intimacy. By exploring intimacy within the rebel group as a locus of progressive politics, this paper contributes to feminist security studies, feminist international relations and rebel governance scholarship.
