Description
Through essays, testimonies and reflections, this anthology examines what it means to live as a queer person in a society that remains legally restrictive and socially unaccommodating. From queer lawyers defending lesbian and trans couples in courtrooms and trans doctors and police officers navigating bias within their professions to artists negotiating visibility in fields as diverse as acting, modelling, comedy, theatre or people simply trying to go clubbing at night, Queer India Now documents the questions of identity, caste, dignity, money and visibility in a country that tries its best to ignore anything that''s even slightly non-heteronormative.
