- Summary
- Project Bolo records and documents individual profiles of LGBT persons who have, in their own way, stood up for what they believed in and challenged norms and stereotypes loaded on them by the society. The 'write' way to visibility - Hoshang Merchant and R. Raj Rao - two poets and authors who have written and edited pathbreaking queer themed books that break the silence around LGBT issues. Both of them have also initiated and teach queer literature at two Universities in conservative cities like Hyderabad and Pune. In their personal life, Hoshang is extremely talkative and Raj is reticent to a fault - but when it comes to writing, both are extremely eloquent.
