It was ominously dark all around. As he stared in amazement, he saw five tall, strapping men emerge like streaks of lightening and race forward. The one in the middle looked very familiar… The men increased their speed and even as he watched, four of them transformed into hyenas, their lean, mean bodies struggling to outpace each other. The one in the middle morphed into a cheetah, its sinuous, supple body tearing ahead. The hyenas moved closer trying their best to sink their fangs into the magnificent beast… As the cheetah made one last effort to reach its goal, it felt sharp, strong, hungry teeth sink into its flesh… It cried in anger and desperation. He woke up with a start. He was drenched in sweat and his heart was beating wildly. He looked at his watch. Still more than half a day to go before his date with destiny....his tryst with the ten most important seconds of his life…

Pink Revolutions describes how queer politics in India occupies an uneasy position between the forces of neoliberal globalization, on the one hand, and the nationalist Hindu fundamentalism that has emerged since the 1990s, on the other. While neoliberal forces use queerness to highlight India’s democratic credentials and stature within a globalized world, nationalist voices claim that queer movements in the country pose a threat to Indian national identity. Nishant Shahani argues that this tension implicates queer politics within messy entanglements and knotted ideological triangulations, geometries of power in which local understandings of “authentic” nationalism brush up against global agendas of multinational capital. Eschewing structures of absolute complicity or abject alterity, Pink Revolutions pays attention to the logics of triangulation in various contexts: gay tourism, university campus politics, diasporic cultural productions, and AIDS activism. The book articulates a framework through which queer politics can challenge rather than participate in neoliberal imperatives, an approach that will interest scholars engaged with queer studies and postcolonial scholarship, as well as activists and academics wrestling with global capitalism and right-wing regimes around the world.
