Mondo Cheler Mondo Katha

Though Section 377 has been deemed unconstitutional in India, yet societal acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community has been largely elusive. Pabitra Chakraborty, through his novel ‘Mondo Cheler Mondo Katha’ has shone light on the everyday hardships, hopes and the aspirations of people who chose differently. Their preferences towards others and of their own sexuality draw an exclusionary behavior from the so-called heteronormative society. This novel is an eye-opening, haunting, thought-provoking & tender account of people who have embarked on a long fight to be wholeheartedly loved, embraced and accepted by everyone around them without trepidation and judgement.
