Need for a synergistic alliance

Queer individuals and their allies must ensure that issues like the implementation of horizontal reservations for transgender people and the ban on anti-queer conversion practices find a place in political party manifestos, writes Kanav Narayan Sahgal.

The BNS: A missed opportunity for gender inclusivity and LGBTQ+ rights

Take, for example, Clauses 75 and 76 within the BNS, which seek to replace Sections 354B and 354C of the IPC. The IPC, in its original form, routinely employed gendered language in its descriptions of various offences and the parties involved.
