The project had people from across the country spontaneously and unexpectedly sharing their most intimate stories that defied taboos and shimmered with humour and heart. Neither research nor reportage, Agents of Ishq quickly became a living archive of emotion; a collective diary written by Indians speaking their desires aloud.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/champaca.in\/products\/love-sex-and-india-the-agents-of-ishq-anthology?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=3bec7a877\u0026amp;_ss=r\u0026amp;variant=41871899033635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLove, Sex and India: The Agents of Ishq Anthology\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e brings together some of these\u003cbr\u003eevocative stories that evade all binaries—cheeky reports of first dates, situationships,\u003cbr\u003ehook-ups; tales of longing, of heartbreak, of tender friendships; grim accounts of\u003cbr\u003esexual exploitation and assault; frank advice on masturbation; solemn revelations\u003cbr\u003eabout queerness; thrilling confessions on kink, and so much more.
