"In comparison to gender, studies of sexuality have been relatively sparse in the Indian context. One insurmountable hurdle contributing to the relative paucity of studies focused on sexuality has beenpatchy and often inaccessible archival resource. In recent years, however,works by Anjali Arondekar, Gayatri Reddy, Gautam Bhan and others have sought to variously query archival silences on sexuality as well as explore queer lives in India. Intimate Others: Marriage and Sexualities in India is a rich addition to existing studies on gender and sexuality in India that draws upon and furthers the diverse bodies of research mentioned above." - Rochona Majumdar, Biblio, March-April 2012
