The 1990s and early 2000s were heady days for Indian queer people
and their networks as they emerged from the shadows. They grouped
together to deal with covert and overt forms of stigma,
discrimination, and violence in different spheres of life. Tracing
the life stories of around a dozen queer individuals and their
allies from eastern India, Out of Line and Offline dwells on the
many ways in which queer communities were mobilized in the first
decade of the movement in India, and how such mobilization affected
the lives of queer people in the long run. Pawan Dhall draws on
in-depth interviews, which generate compelling stories of
individual lives and experiences amid a society that was slowly
being pressured to change. Dhall also delves into the archives of
some of the earliest queer support forums in eastern India to
reveal the ways in which the movement developed and grew. A
thoroughly researched and poignantly human document, this volume
will find an important place in the canon of literature on queer
movements across the world.
