95 Bodies in Transition: Exploring Queer Sexualities in Indian Cinema Hiya Chatterjee Representations of alternative sexualities in Indian popular culture are conspicuous through their absence and invisibility. This lack, especially in Bollywood, corroborates the critique that despite the increased visibility of the LGBTQ movement in post-liberalisation India, the transgender1 subcultures of Indian society still inhabit the periphery of the social consciousness. Most films centring on queer themes portray middle class characters and are reticent on queer sexuality, quite understandably so, in order to avoid censorship of a rigid and unimaginative Central Board of Film Certification of India. This is because popular culture in Indian society functions mostly as an ideological state apparatus intent on upholding the normative structures. Representation of sexuality in mainstream Indian cinema is circumscribed to the heteronormative, more specifically to cater to the (perverted) sexual fantasies of the cisgender, heterosexual male. The female body is not only a source of visual pleasure for the voyeuristic Indian male audience, but this act of deriving pleasure from the sexual otherisation of the female is considered essential to establish the self as ‘masculine’. This masculinisation of viewership has other consequences as well: it perfectly serves the patriarchal agenda of the heteronormative family in which the woman has to be tamed by the man to maintain the societal power relations and the sexual hierarchy.

Gender has been an important tool of research and inquiry conflating folk studies and women’s studies. Construction of identity is inextricably linked to the process of gendered construction of self—a social and cultural process, which facilitates and sustains the hegemonic patriarchal structures and discursive practices. As Maggie Humm contends “patriarchal power is ubiquitous. There is deeply entrenched politics of sexuality, beginning with the reproduction of patriarchy, through psycho-social conditioning in the family, which operates in all economic and cultural structures” (Humm 11). Within the gendered categorisations of the female self, the maternal body becomes the locus of ritualised abstractions and construction of values that enable the “becoming” of the woman, in Beauvoir’s1 terms, shaping certain dominant assumptions around the mother as a fertile, nurturing, self-sacrificing body.
