Kolkata Queer Arts Month: Talk on how law stresses more on a dead woman than a living one
Telegraph | 30 December 2024
In Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Jibito O Mrito (The living and the dead), a woman presumed dead comes back, but no one, including herself at times, believes that she is alive. In the end, she jumps into a pond and kills herself to prove that she had been alive.
The talk was organised by the Pratyay Gender Collective in collaboration with Kolkata Pride as part of its Kolkata Queer Arts Month programme.
