Reviews
"""In this extremely insightful book, Nishant Shahani takes us on a journey through the rapidly changing terrains of queer politics and modernity in the era of fraying democratic rights in India. Placing the production of local hetero-authenticity in relation to the global marketability of queer rights, Shahani offers a clear and timely analysis of Hindutva's global capitalist ambitions as necrocapitalist logics. This book is absolutely essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the intertwined fortunes of queer rights and antidemocratic governance."" --Svati P. Shah, author of Street Corner Secrets: Sex, Work, and Migration in the City of Mumbai ""Pink Revolutions is a well-theorized and provocative addition to current scholarship in queer and postcolonial studies. Shahani's turn to genealogies and afterlives of 'pink revolutions' is certainly timely in its call for a renewed attention to the affective and economic logics underwriting the politics of queer movements in postcolonial India."" --Anjali Arondekar, author of For the Record: On Sexuality and the Colonial Archive in India"
