The first time I heard about the personal stories of hijra community was through a podcast ‘De Taali’ on Spotify, in early 2020. Later I was introduced to the vast body of Indian queer literature through an Instagram Live discussion that bookstagramer Vivek Tejuja had done sometime in July, I guess. It was intrigued by this book when The House of Belong promoted it, and so I chose to educate myself through the Audible trial version. It indeed was a rewarding experience.
