Details: Through a multi-sited ethnography in an online-offline community, Parmesh Shahani examines how Internet technologies, the media industry, audiences and broader socio-historical contexts shape gay identity in contemporary urban India.

For readers across the world focused on India, Gay Bombay will serve as a memorable journey through various transitions in urban India.
