CAA-NRC-NPR, intra- and cross-movement solidarity, and trans and queer resistance in India
ADHD as entrepreneurial neurodivergence
Queer Politics of Naming and Figuration of the “Lesbian” in Maja Ma
In post-377 neoliberal India, with the emergence and proliferation of subscription-based video streaming platforms, the cultural field has undergone a sea change.

This paper tries to understand how the film’s liberal messaging about queer acceptance and anti-discrimination, through the coming out narrative of its queer protagon…
