Summary:

"Through a multi-sited ethnography in an online-offline community, Parmesh Shahani examines how Internet technologies, media, audiences and broader socio-historical contexts shape gay identity in contemporary urban India. He realizes that the identity of a gay man in the community is negotiated on the stability of the idea of Indianness. For readers across the world focused on India, Gay Bombay will serve as a memorable journey through various transitions in urban India. This special anniversary edition includes chapters from renowned academicians working in the gender and queer studies space, such as Ulka Anjaria of Brandeis University, Kareem Khubchandani of Tufts University and Dhiren Borisa of O. P. Jindal Global University"-- Provided by publisher.
