My latest book, Forbidden Desire - How the British Stole India's Queer Pasts & Queer Futures, aims to undo the deleterious effects of British colonialism on India's rich queer past.

So glad Forbidden Desire (How the British Stole India's Queer Pasts & Queer Futures) is finding its way home.

Had a very interesting conversation with @jaramachtsachen.bsky.social about politics in Germany, resistance movements, Palestine, poetry, and the concept of Staatsräson on @thesubjectivespace.bsky.social.

Beyond thrilled. This book contains 5 years of research. As my editor rightly said on IG — this book is like a long scandalous chat. Can’t wait for folks to read it. Out on Sep 16. Available for pre-order now!
