Publisher Description: Leading to protest and debate, same-sex desire in Indian literature and film has appeared in a wide range of works since 1970 including Vikram Seth and the films of Deepa Mehta. Using these works as a focal point, among many others, Ross argues that an Euro-American notion of homosexuality is reinvented when coming into contact with Indian culture. |
