Here for the first time, this largely uninvestigated area of Indian culture is uncovered in Vanita&#8217;s provocative collection of original essays. The topics are wide-ranging, covering film, literature, popular culture, historical and religious texts, law, and other aspects of life in India. With a comprehensive scope, contributors discuss a diverse range of examples, including the recent controversial lesbian film, Fire; a case of same-sex love and murder in colonial India; homophobic fiction and homoerotic advertising in current day India; and queering the Kama Sutra.Queering Indiaprovides a profoundly important new understanding of gay and lesbian life.<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Check for it on:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/search?tag=lesbianfun-20&amp;index=books&amp;field-title=Ruth Vanita, Queering India\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?q=Queering India, Ruth Vanita&#038;qid=\">Goodreads<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=bks&#038;hl=en&#038;q=Ruth Vanita, Queering India\">Google Books<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n .TFtable{\n  border-collapse:collapse; <\/p>\n<p> }\n .TFtable td{ \n  spacing:10px; border:#ffffff 5px solid; padding-right:20px<\/p>\n<p> }\n \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/\n .TFtable td:nth-child(2){\n  color: #0099ff;\n }\n<\/style>\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\n<tr>\n<td>ISBN<\/td>\n<td>9780415929509<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Genre<\/td>\n<td>LGBT Studies\/Social Sciences<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Copyright Date<\/td>\n<td>2002<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publication Date<\/td>\n<td>16-Nov-01<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publisher<\/td>\n<td>Routledge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Editor<\/td>\n<td>Ruth Vanita<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Format<\/td>\n<td>Trade Paperback<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No. of Pages<\/td>\n<td>256<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>English<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rating<\/td>\n<td>NotRated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Editor<\/td>\n<td>Ruth Vanita<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Subject<\/td>\n<td>Homosexuality; Homosexuality &#8211; India; Homosexuality\/ India; India; Indic Literature<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BookID<\/td>\n<td>10381<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruth Vanita | Queering India | Little is known about same-sex love and eroticism in Indian culture, but this once forbidden subject is slowly receiving more attention.
