On 6 September 2018, the Indian Supreme Court delivered a very progressive verdict on LGBTQ+ rights. In celebration of the one-year anniversary, Mohini Books has created an anthology with texts focused on fearless love. The verdict shows inclusiveness in both form and content, a value that is arguably the best of both Indian culture and queer culture. Inclusiveness has also been a guiding value in the creation of this anthology. The contributors self-identify as men, women, cis, trans, gender non-conforming, gay, straight and with various other sexual and gender labels. Many are Indian or Indian-origin, but there are also contributors with Scandinavian, Pakistani, Sudanese and other national backgrounds. Texts are in the form of poetry, essay, short story, song lyrics, and letter. These are interspersed with quotes from the beautiful verdict. The anthology is available digitally for free – and as a printed book at production cost.
I read this for the Reading Rush 2020 (June20-26) A superb anthology of works revolving around the LGBTQIA lives. These poignant and close-to-the-heart pieces from a variety of writers, in the ways that they expressed them in (short story, poetry, song lyrics, research essays, etc), throbbed with the resonance of their lives and the ways in which they matter, despite how society says otherwise.

It's a masterpiece I have no words to say about this beauty, even I was thinking that I will try to explain this as much as I can but sorry I can't.
You (Mohini books) guys really help me with this masterpiece to understand Pride community more. And a big thanks to Vikram who share this anthology with me.
Let's talk first about the cover and believe me this is one of the astonishing cover I had ever see. This cover is an illustration by Balbir Krishan.
Every story, poem, essays, letter and song lyrics give a totally different angle to my view about love, life, world, etc.
My View:- Language is lucid and understandable. And there are interspersed quotes by our Judges benches who take a huge decision to amend Article 377 which is like Cherry on top. With every page, you will get a new perspective on life in respect of LGBTQ+.
Recommendation - This book is recommended to everyone who wants to understand the brief insights about the LGBTQ+ community.
Since I like this book and right now this book is available for free on @mohinibooks go and get this you gonna thank me later.
