DESCRIPTION:How has Western morality reshaped Indian ideas of the body and
  performance?\nThis research explores how colonial and postcolonial ideolo
 gies impacted Indian expressions of gender and sexuality\, especially thro
 ugh dance and performance. Focusing on gay Indian dancer Ram Gopal\, my re
 cent book (2024) traces how he navigated cultural tensions in mid-20th-cen
 tury Europe.\n\nColonial rule and later nationalism imposed Victorian idea
 ls\, marginalizing traditions like devadāsīs\, hijras\, and folk perform
 ers\, creating a "double dependency" on both colonial and postcolonial nor
 ms. Today\, artists are reclaiming these forms through performance\, film\
 , and cross-disciplinary work\, drawing on mythological figures like ardha
 nārīśvara and Bahuchara Mata. This lecture examines these efforts and t
 he enduring power dynamics shaping memory\, identity\, and cultural expres
 sion.
