Interview – Rumi Harish
My assertion of my gender was not because of masculinity, it was because of the feminism which I practised – and that gave me this chance to come back to what I was. To assert what I was and to assert what I am.

क्वीयर मर्दानगी – पारंपरिक पुरुषत्व की सीमाओं को चुनौती
क्वीयर मर्दानगी एक वैकल्पिक मर्दानगी है जो पितृसत्तात्मक और विषमलैंगिक मानदंडों को अक्सर चुनौती देती है और मर्दानगी के स्वरूप को अधिक समावेशी बनाती है।

Editorial – Sports and Sexuality
Cricket, football, hopscotch, whatever the game, we have all wanted to be included for the sheer joy not only of exercising body and mind but also of being part of a team, of being noticed and celebrated. Sports and athletics offer us a playground to explore and express parts of ourselves that may otherwise forever lie dormant.
