Description

This podcast will host writers, readers, artists, and activists who listen to, read, or document "queer" stories and their afterlives. This space hopes to hold unedited conversations that question what queerness in India feels, looks, and sounds like. It may push Indian writers and publishers, especially upper-caste Hindus to check their cultural and social capital and interrogate the Indian dominance in South Asia and studies on South Asia. It is an attempt to share joy or discomfort, suspicion, or solidarity, or just gossip and flirt. Though this podcast is an extension of my research interests, it is neither funded by my current institution nor meant to be an academic engagement as such. As a curator who comes from a Hindu upper-caste background, I recognize the labor of sharing stories and intend to compensate all guests, either with honoraria or by other means, depending on what they may desire.
