The Unboy Boy
Authors: Richa Jha, Gautam Benegal
Publisher: Pickle Yolk
ISBN: 9789351269403
Young Gagan is at ease being what he is: quiet, gentle, sensitive, and an animal and book lover. But his family and friends think of him as being not boy enough, and want to make him more boy-like. Gagan, however, has enough tricks up his sleeve to show the world that there are no boy-boys or unboy-boys. Just boys. And just girls. Gender stereotyping has strong undercurrents in the social fabric of India and in many cultures around the world.
