This book focuses on the plight of the queer people in rural India. By examining how rural life shapes queer identities, the book offers a fresh perspective that bridges the gap between urban and rural queer communities. While on one hand, it elucidates the various ways in which people living in the Indian villages deal with the queer subjects and subjectivities, on the other hand, it explores the ways in which the process of growing up in the countryside makes its impact on its village queers. Drawing from personal experiences, ethnographic research, and cultural representations, this multidisciplinary book explores the intersection of gender, sexuality, and rural landscapes. It delves into the historical and cultural forces that influence the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, and transgender individuals in provincial India. The collaborative effort by activists and scholars across fields such as literary studies, gender studies, political science, and more provides a rich analysis of the rural queer experience. It challenges the urban-centric narrative and contributes significantly to gender and sexuality studies, sociology, cultural studies, and subaltern studies.
