The love story as resistance

Live Mint  

Love is so hazardous and so political in the India of today that the prospect of a male lion named ‘Akbar’ being mated with a lioness called ‘Sita’ is enough to cause a meltdown. The Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Religious Conversion Ordinance effectively polices inter-religious marriages — a prime example of the State boldly entering the realm of conspiracy theorists who believe in the spectre of ‘love jihad’. It so happens that none of the relationships are the kind that are widely socially accepted — a divorced woman with two children marrying a single man; two cross-border love stories; an inter-religious one that includes themes of addiction and support; the inter-caste love story of two political activists; and one between a transgender man and woman — but the storytelling consistently emphasises the personal over the political. “We’ve created a little corner of the internet where people feel safe to share their love stories and, in turn, inspire younger couples to do the same.” Exactly one month after ILP launched, UP criminalised inter-religious marriages. In a factual, reportage-based investigation, the authors interrogate some theories that they say “are part of the landscape of WhatsApp chats and social media feeds of millions of Indians every day.” Starting with the first known case of ‘love jihad’, the book investigates a list of ‘love jihad’ cases, travelling to the state where the largest number of arrests have been made under the new laws to explore if the crackdown is justified.
