  • Mumbai Landmarks That Were Part of the Underground Gay Scene in the 1980S
    Mumbai landmarks that were part of the underground gay scene in the 1980s By Vikram Phukan |Posted 26-Nov-2014 The Boatman, a book by former aid worker John Burbidge, is set in India during the early 1980s, unearthing facets and talking about Mumbai landmarks which were part of a thriving but subterranean gay scene Foraging around the internet for the phrase ‘Bombay Bandstand’ yields an odd million or two hits for the star-strewn promenade at Bandra, a heady sea-sprayed stretch of concrete that has been in existence for less than a decade. TO BE FREE: Like these pigeons at the Gateway, silent sentinel to the subterranean gay culture in the city in the '80s and '90s. Pic/Pradeep Dhivar Bandstand culture in Mumbai, now seemingly obscured on the internet, actually goes back a whole century or more. References to it can be found in vintage texts and jazz tomes, although there has been a resurgence of interest in recent times (if ever so slightly), via the good offices of the Bandstand Revival project, which has attempted to bring back elusive traces of a bygone era by springing the pomp of an after-dusk live brass band upon an unsuspecting populace, who have long become completely inured to such instances of embedded culture. However, unknown to many except those with first-hand experience (many of whom were sworn to secrecy by the dictates of those times), the twilight whirring at a bandstand has also been associated with the carousel waltz of an underground culture from as far back as the 70s, with the Cooperage Band Stand Garden and Children’s Traffic Park in Colaba (or simply, Bandstand) once being the crowning glory of a thriving gay scene in the city, and a symbol of her subterranean hedonism.

  • Homosexuality and Homphobia In
    HOMOSEXUALITY AND HOMOPHOBIA IN INDIAN POPUlAR CULTURE: REFLECTIONS OF THE LAW ? Danish Sheikh Introduction Some men like Jack and some like Jill; I'm glad I like them both; but still I wonder ifthis freewheeling really is an enlight­ ened thing - or is its greater scope a sign ofdeviance from some party line ?In the strict ranks ofGay and Straight, What is my status? Stray? or Great? Vikram Seth Homosexuality and bisexuality, as we now know from modern research, are ubiquitous throughout the world. Whether tolerated or not, they are practiced in every culture to some degree.! The differences among cultures is the degree of openness regarding practice. In a democratic and pluralistic country like India, it is a shame that we have a law that abuses human rights and limits fundamental freedoms such as is enumerated in Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which, by prohibiting "carnal intercourse against the order of nature"2 in effect punitively criminalizes private, consensual sexual acts between people of the same sex. India is a country with vibrant popular culture. Nowhere is the collective consciousness of the nation probably better essayed than in the cinema, which is viewed with passionate fervour. Taking cinema as the mainstay of Indian popular culture, along with a few examples from literature and television, this paper seeks to understand the link between the depiction. of homosexuality in Indian popular culture and the law, which as it stands now is blatantly homophobiC. Different viewpoints are looked from and observed in Indian popular culture, such as the non - acceptance of homosexuality by some quarters, the crude stereotyping that is played to squeeze out a few laughs, and the slowly emerging new wave of thought that treats the subject with a compassionate eye, and gives it a humane treatment.

  • Creating Inclusive Workplaces for LGBT Employees in India
    "In a time when India is seeing a lot of positive changes that will shape the future of its LGBTQ citizens, Community Business has come out with a splendid guide which is not only comprehensive, but also deals with issues that are very specific to India in a well researched manner. Today, in 2012, it is very essential for corporates based in India to come out of the illusion that they have no LGBTQ employees on board, and create a positive environment for them to come out in. I definitely suggest every Corporate HR, Talent Acquisition, and D&I team should read the 'Creating Inclusive Workplaces for LGBT Employees in India' resource guide while shaping policies that help create a more inclusive and supportive work environment for all.” Tushar M, Operations Head (India) Equal India Alliance For more information on Equal India Alliance go to: www.equalindiaalliance.org Creating Inclusive “The business case for LGBT inclusion in India is real and gaining momentum. India plays an increasingly vital role in our global economy. Creating safe and equal workplaces is essential for both its LGBT employees and India’s continued Workplaces for economic success.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • Life in Russia's Closed City: Moscow's Movement Restrictions and the Rule Of
    LIFE IN RUSSIA'S "CLOSED CITY": MOSCOW'S MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS AND THE RULE OF LAW DAmIAN S. SCHAIBLE* The City of Moscow continues to enforce a restrictive residence registrationregime similar to the propiska system that prevailed in the Soviet era-despite constitu- tional guarantees of the freedom of movement, federal statutory provisions imple- menting that right, and Constitutional Court rulings that such restrictions are unconstitutional In this Note, Damian Schaible argues that the continued restric- tions representmore than simply an ongoing violation of the human rights of Mos- cow's illegal residents; they are also an indicatorof Russia's imperfect transition to the rule of law and a practicalobstacle to the success of that transition. IN7MODUCrION In October 1999, while Moscow was gripped by terror in the wake of a series of apartment bombings, 20,000 people in the city were arrested and detained by police,1 while another 15,000 were or- dered to leave the city.2 A family of three was told one morning that they had twenty-four hours to vacate the apartment where they had lived for seven years and to leave Moscow.3 There may be as many as three million other people, still living in Moscow, who are effectively nonpersons in the eyes of local law.4 They are unable to vote, marry * This Note is dedicated to the memory of John Joseph Ostertog (1917-2000), who taught me so much. I would like to thank Professor Alexander Domrin for his helpful comments, and the members of the New York University Law Review, especially Margaret Lemos, David McTaggart, Michael Russano, and David Yocis, for their excellent advice and editorial assistance.
