About The Book
The Urban Elite versus Union of India by Rohin Bhatt is a groundbreaking exploration of queer rights, offering a unique perspective on the legal struggles faced by the LGBTQIA+ community in India. Drawing from Bhatt's own experiences as a queer law student during the landmark Navtej Singh Johar case, the book provides an insightful and personal account of the legal battle to decriminalize Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.
The book goes beyond legal arguments, addressing the personal challenges faced by queer lawyers in the profession, particularly in a society where homophobia is often disguised as legal reasoning. Bhatt presents a detailed legal history of the fight for decriminalization, including the ongoing struggle for marriage equality and family rights, all through the lens of a queer individual who has been directly involved in the case that has the potential to transform India's social fabric.
A first-of-its-kind memoir, The Urban Elite versus Union of India offers readers a behind-the-scenes look at the legal battle for queer rights, interwoven with the author's own journey of navigating personal and professional identity in a society in flux. This book is essential for those interested in queer law, social justice, and the fight for equality, shedding light on both the legal history and the lived experiences of queer individuals in India.
