Abstract

This study makes an attempt to queer Indian sociology. Queering encompasses the viewpoints of individuals who do not conform or do not desire to adhere to the heterosexual or hetero-gender thinking, or both. Non-conformity to established gender and sexual norms in a particular culture has significant implications for non-conforming individuals, which can range from physical assault to various exclusions, stigma, and marginalisation. Since the early 1990s, activists in India have been mobilising against unfairness, stigma, and abuses suffered by the sexually marginalised. Popularly termed as the LGBTQI movement or movements of "sexual minorities," these mobilizations across South Asia have brought to light numerous unpleasant and hazardous trajectories that comprise the very existence of these sexually marginalised people.
