Never a shrinking violet, Hoshang Merchant came out of the closet early in his youth. A bard, a teacher, and a lover who has lived many lives, he is the quintessential gay who once cross-dressed, and yet defies categorization. In Secret Writings, he recounts his extraordinary life and splendid experiences ranging across countries and cultures. His is a story of the prejudice and neglect that are part of everyday gay life, and how he channelled his despair into creating poetry. He quotes Rumi, Ghalib, and Mir, and writes with searing honesty about his long and short love affairs, his ‘improbable’ sex life as both an initiator and a yielding partner, and his inner turmoil. Sex becomes love and love becomes poetry in his writing. Merchant yells at the moral guardians of law and culture, asks uncomfortable questions, and shocks his readers. This rare book opens a window to the myriad worlds of an avant-garde.

When you have lived as fully and openly as poet, professor, and gay Indian icon of a generation, Hoshang Merchant, what secrets are there left to tell? Plenty, as it turns out. And in All My Masters, Merchant tells the story of the times and places and people that have made him. Many of them are famous; some of them - until now - barely known. In this wild ride across the Middle East, Europe, the United States, and back to India, Merchant describes himself as 'homeless for 20 years'. And yet it is always clear that he knows exactly who he is. By turns sharply insightful, wickedly funny, poetic, and tender, All My Masters tells the story of a 'homosexual Parsi, Christian by education, Hindu by culture, Sufi by persuasion'. Any one of those journeys would be enough for most people, but Hoshang Merchant embraces all of them, and in giving himself the freedom to do so, he hopes to liberate others like him. Exhilarating and courageous in its honesty, All My Masters is the unforgettable story of many lives in one.

This book frames the major debates and contemporary issues in women’s and gender studies in India. It locates them in the context of key theories, their interlinkages, and significant crossings and overlaps within the field while juxtaposing feminist and queer perspectives. The essays in the volume foreground emerging challenges as well as offer clues to future trajectories for women’s and gender studies in the country through a comprehensive and interdisciplinary survey of intersectionalities in feminist activism and theory; gender, caste and class; feminist, masculinity, queer and transgender studies; disability and feminism; feminist and queer pedagogies; and Indian, Western and transnational feminisms. The volume traces how gender studies have shaped established social science as well as interpretative and representational discourses (psychoanalysis, literature, aesthetics, cinema, new media studies and folklore). It examines their strategic potential to draw upon and transform these areas in national and international contexts. This book will be useful to students, teachers and researchers in women’s studies, gender studies, cultural studies, queer studies and South Asian studies.

‘As everyone knows by now, I’m homosexual.’ To write this sentence and to speak it publicly, which is a great liberation, is why I write. Provocative and percipient, The Man Who Would Be Queen is a collection of lyric essays on the self that flaunts itself as autobiographical fiction. In the words of its writer: ‘The art of living is the art of creating life-fictions.’ The first and second sections of the autobiography take us through the garden of delight or the no-man’s-land of childhood, and the circle of hell or the coming of age years; it is in the penultimate section ‘How I write/Why I write’ that the poet achieves the desired garden of bliss. Lyrical and erudite, playful and dark, The Man Who Would Be Queen is a significant landmark in Indian writing, both as the autobiography of a homosexual and of a poet.
