So, I hope I n be fiven a teacher's pri seeg one of my stunts make good as I share wh you this terview wh Shahani about his book, about the place of gay culture India, and about the methods behd his rearch. You wre, "Gay do not mean what do Ameri, or the wt at large.

" So what do gay mean an Indian ntext? Homosexualy isn't an alien ncept India.

In ntemporary urban India (My rearch was based solely wh this ntext), while there is no guilt-based taboo agast homosexualy, beg gay has s own unique set of nnotatns and experienc bee of the cultural and social stctur, and fay prsur that sist on nformy to tradnal patriarchal, heteronormative valu. Fay, social and muny nnectns are the primary ti, and gay people do not want to let go of the at all.

It is almost like a pulsory stage of life, and for many gay people, this is the biggt challenge that they have to negotiate. The prsure to nform is even more tense when the gay person is effemate and th visibly marked different. Rebelln agast this prsure n sometim mean banishment but most s, the gay person is not thrown out, but prsured to change his ways orr to mata the fay honour.
