About this ebook
Rainbow Warriors of India is a stirring tribute to the resilient spirits of twenty-two extraordinary individuals from India's queer community. From enduring societal shunning and the label of hijras to facing discrimination and marginalisation, these gay icons have navigated through adversity to claim their rightful place in society.
Their relentless struggle against the oppressive confines of prejudice fueled their desire for even the most fundamental recognition of their humanity. Whether dancers, poets, writers, dramatists, social activists, painters, or designers, each icon has left an indelible mark on Indian culture.
Rainbow Warriors of India is not just a celebration of these individuals; it's a testament to the enduring spirit of the queer community in India and a call to acknowledge and applaud their invaluable contributions to the nation's rich cultural tapestry.
