 ? Using the framework of caste abolition and queer/trans legal struggles in
  South Asia\, our workshop will offer some potential pathways for radical t
 rans/queer/caste futurities.</p><p>Two (rather ambitious!) questions will a
 nimate our gathering:</p><ol><li>How has the escalation of authoritarianism
  and religious violence in South Asia impacted queer/trans/caste projects o
 f dissent?</li><li>What do trans/queer/caste movements teach us about navig
 ating crisis amidst a climate of constant conflict?</li></ol><p>[accordions

 the Colonial Archive in India</em> (Duke University Press\, 2009\, Orient B
