Being Janana

Language and Sexuality in Contemporary India

By: Ila Nagar

Being Janana focuses on same-sex desiring male-bodied subjects in Lucknow, India, and explores how they make meaning in the marginalization of their desire through language performativity. Along with their desire for other men, jananas maintain ostensibly heteronormatively and culturally defined masculine positions. This book argues for an intersectional approach to understanding janana life worlds and situates janana subjectivity in dialogue with social, cultural, linguistic, and legal happenings. In engaging with the full complexity of janana identities and experience, Ila Nagar calls for a reassessment of gender categories and a new understanding of power and sexuality amidst emerging Indian modernities. Derived from ethnographic research conducted over a period of twelve years, this book also reflects on the interaction between social actors and researchers, and critically examines the use of ethnography as a method in sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology. It will be of interest to scholars from Anthropology, Asian Studies, Gender & Sexuality Studies, and Linguistics.

Surrendering me for us

15 years of my marriage with a Narcissist

By: Ila jain

This book is a journal of my sour and spicy journey of married life. It is not a fairy tale , rather it is real life story of me and many more who can correlate to the situation, 'why they did not complaint about domestic violence?'. It's really easy for some to say, " I would have done this and that, if , i would have been in such situation. Believe me it's far more difficult when you are in the same situation." Marriage's in our culture are sacred bonds, which have to be preserved and nourished at any cost especially by a woman. Failure of a marriage, means a failure being a woman. We are conditioned to sacrifice everything just on a hope that everything will workout one day. A day which might never come.
