Abstract

Western concepts of (homo)sexuality and (trans)gender identities have affected and still affect the understanding of these phenomena and the creation of identity politics in a non-Western cultural context that already had established different models of understanding gender and sexuality. This text deals with the influence of Western society on the identity politics of sexual and gender minorities in colonial and post-colonial India, investigating the problem of hybridization of the indigenous gender and sexual identity minorities. It also explores the emergence of identity, community and activist forms of struggle characteristic for Western culture and which are found in post-colonial India as the result of modern globalization processes.

“Although relatively untouched by police jurisdiction, hijras across the country have divided themselves according to municipal police divisions, in accordance with the demarcation of districts in mainstream society. They elect their own council of elders to settle group disputes, referred to as pancayats, who rule over a select group of hijra communities within a particular region. They have regional meetings as well: simply through word of mouth, tens of thousands of hijras have been known to converge on a single area.” Kira Hall, “‘Go Suck Your Husband’s Sugarcane!’: Hijras and the Use of Sexual Insult,” in Queerly phrased: language, gender, and sexuality, edited by Anna Livia and Kira Hall, Oxford, New York: Oxford University Press, 1997, 430–460, 430.

“The constitution of this colonial category—a ‘criminal caste’—involved the construction and detailed elaboration of ‘a body of knowledge defining the nature, habits, and characteristics’ of individuals so classified. This knowledge base was premised not only on prevailing understandings of the nature of Indian society (and caste in particular), but also on constructions of crime, deviance, and vagrancy in Victorian England.” Gayatri Reddy, With respect to sex: negotiating hijra identity in South India, Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2005, 27.
