This episode of The Mohua Show explores queerness, colonial morality, and the politics of desire in India.
Academic and author Sindhu Rajasekaran (Forbidden Desire) speaks about growing up queer under Section 377, erased queer histories, Victorian ideas of modesty, and how colonial rule reshaped gender and sexuality in India.

A powerful conversation on queer feminism, postcolonial amnesia, and reclaiming desire to imagine freer futures.
