"What I like most about Out of Line and Offline is that it chronicles the work of people, groups and organisations who are doing important work but whose stories are not visible when the queer rights movement in India is usually talked about. This could be largely due to the fact that they are located away from Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru—which are usually considered to be the hubs of the queer movement—and their main focus is not cis gay men, the most visible face of the queer community in the media."

"Out of Line and Offline is the outcome of extensive, in-depth, and almost two decades-worth of research . . . This book warrants interest from scholars and academics who study gender and sexuality and also deserves attention from other South Asia enthusiasts and scholars."
