This chapter examines how imaginations of young Muslim women have become implicated within material and discursive regimes of rising consumerism and have been enhanced by expanding employment opportunities for women. It reflects upon the negotiations that the young women’s new ambitions for self-actualization call for with the traditional Indian Muslim society and how in their position as doubly marginalized subjects they must also contend with iniquitous socio-economic regimes hindering their prospects. It argues that for Muslim women patriarchy is but one power vector intersecting with multiple others, and that their complex negotiations with the patriarchal order to seek an enabling environment for pursuit of their goals points to the inadequacy of frameworks conceptualizing gendered agency only in opposition to patriarchy. The chapter argues that Muslim women’s strategy to eschew confrontation with patriarchal order, while potentially subverting its power through their pursuit of financial independence exemplifies their ‘convoluted modernity’, problematizing binary frameworks of identity.
