The invisibility accorded to queer literary works in India has a systematic sinister agenda of silencing. Such a hidden target can be countered only by cataloguing the still unexplored queer texts in various Indian languages and by developing unique critical tools to analyse these texts in such a manner that helps in excavating the convoluted layers and subversive potential of queer identities.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. Introduction. 1. Dichotomic representation of Lesbianism as an act of resistance in contemporary Indian English women writers with special reference to Abha Dawesar and Anita Nair. 2. Violence on Hijras through the Lens of Biphobia and the contemporary literary representations: Mahesh Dattani, Khushwant Singh, Abdul Khalid Rashid and Satya. 3. Lesbian fabulation in Suniti Namjoshi s poetry: a tool to familiarize or a means to escape? 4. The polyvalent power structures in the gay writings of contemporary Indian English writers with special reference to R. Raj Rao and Hoshang Merchant. 5. Plurality of the significance of lesbian existence in modern Indian writers: Geetanjali Shree, Manju Kapur and Rajkamal Chaudhary. 6. Lesbophobic anxiety and the contradictory fissures in modern regional women short story writers: Shivani s Manik and Hiranmayee Mishra s The Tale of a Rainy Night . 7. Queer identity and homosexualization of spaces in contemporary Indian literary texts. Bibliography. Index. The invisibility accorded to queer literary works in India has a systematic sinister agenda of silencing. Such a hidden target can be countered only by cataloguing the still unexplored queer texts in various Indian languages and by developing unique critical tools to analyse these texts in a such a manner that helps in excavating the convoluted layers and subversive potential of queer identities. This book aims at developing an exclusive literary framework to analyse the Indian queer literary works. In all, there are seven chapters which deal with the themes of plurality of lesbian existence, ambivalent adaptation techniques adopted by the writers to grant visibility to subaltern sexualities, overlapping of class and homosexuality, the development of exclusive queer aesthetics by inversion of accepted mode of literary language, imagery and techniques, the doubly marginalized identity of lesbian diaspora and the specific rift between lesbianism, feminism and queer activism in Indian context as presented in literary studies. It also deals with the issues of biphobia, violence on Hijra identity (perhaps one of the most marginalized identity in LGBTQ movement), the depiction of symbiotic relationship between space, sexual identity and sexual citizenship in Indian literary texts and the efforts made by the writers to homosexualize various so-called normative spaces.
