Ritu Weds Chandni by Ameya Narvankar

Ayesha is excited to attend her cousin Ritu’s wedding. She can’t wait to dance at the baraat ceremony! But not everyone is happy that Ritu is marrying her girlfriend Chandni. Some have even vowed to stop the celebrations. Will Ayesha be able to save her cousin’s big day? Centering Ayesha’s love for her cousin as much as it showcases Ritu and Chandni’s love for each other, this warmhearted debut from Ameya Narvankar celebrates the power of young voices to stand up against prejudice and bigotry.

From an interview with the author:

“This book started as my thesis project, when I was doing my Masters at IIT Bombay. I had explored the topic of visibility and representation of the LGBTQ+ community in the Indian society, wherein I had looked at different portrayals of characters in films and media, especially in literature. I found that none of it existed in an Indian context.”

“I approached a few publishing houses over the next few years, and eventually I found Yali Books. Indian publishing houses did not want to touch a book on such a sensitive topic. A few progressive ones showed interest, but they already had a line-up, or maybe they were too polite to turn it down. This was in 2016, when homosexuality was still criminal. Maybe now if I had sent it across, it would have been different. When I initially wrote the book, it was meant for Indian readers, but now it is more for North American desi people.”

Here is my final drawing in my "____ but make it queer" series 🏳️‍🌈

With little to no rep in Punjabi media of anything LGBTQIA+ I queerified one of my favourite Punjabi films, Angrej.

In India, gender-non-conforming (GNC) identities existed and were recognized for over 4,000 years. Guess when GNC erasure happened? When the British decided to colonize India. Guess when anti-lgbtq+ laws were passed, including incriminating the entire life of the Hijra? After the British colonized India.

Colonialism has erased gender-non-conforming people, but now WE will erase colonialism.
