With KabootarMag, our purview is but not limited to
Sharing our research and opinion pieces exploring South Asian queer narratives in contemporary contexts as well as speculative futures.
Rejecting queer politics that are focused on assimilation into western institutions.
Recognising and navigating soft colonisation in the contemporary world.
Speaking on Queer and South-Asian cultural zeitgeist with authority, regardless of whether or not we have any valid pedigree.
We wish to turn every white noise of discourse slightly (or very) brown and gay.
*Except chai-tea activists and the empire-serving likes of
Kamala aunty.
