About this book

Queer Ink gathered thirty short stories, from over 200 submissions, from established and emerging writers from across India and the diaspora, in the years after the Delhi High Court read down Section 377 in 2009. The stories move between villages and city centres, first confessions and long marriages, across caste, faith, class and work. The book closes with a conversation between the editor, publisher Shobhna S. Kumar, and the artists Nandita Das and Chitra Palekar about their work as allies.
