  • Chapter One Introduction 1
    Notes Chapter One Introduction 1. Khush is a term used by a number of South Asian queers, diasporic and within South Asia, to refer to themselves. Khush literally means happy in Hindi. 2. Desi another Hindi word that means: native or from “desh.” Desh refers to one’s nation, nation of origin, or community. 3. I specifically focus on contemporary feminist anthropology and recognize that the essay as a genre is much used amongst feminists (both non- academic and academic) outside of the discipline of anthropology. 4. In order to increase the “growth rate” the reforms included an increase in foreign investments and incentives for exporters, a 20 percent depreciation of the rupee, reduction in protection to public sector industries, increase in foreign investor equity to 51 percent and rise in price of rice, steel, sugar, and electricity. 5. The cross-conditionality of the IMF and World Bank loans included struc- tural adjustment and stabilization measures involving trade and the econ- omy such as: cutting subsidies, increasing the prices of food and fertilizers, reduction of fiscal deficits, delicensing, increase in foreign investment, and devaluation of the rupee. Shastri, Vanita, “The Politics of Economic Liberalization in India,” Contemporary South Asia (1997), 6(1), 27–56. 6. For instance, listserves such as the khush list and LGBT India (and several other local list serves) have been extremely vital in connecting khush activists and scholars (especially between India, United States, United Kingdom, and Canada). 7. Anamika was a group formed in 1985, in the United States, for South Asian lesbians and by the early 1990s was no longer in operation.
