About
We are happy to release the call for submissions of the second issue of Jindal Global University’s Student-Run Queer Magazine – “Maya”.
[Maya – ‘love’ in Nepali, ‘courage and bravery’ (Maia) in Maori, ‘illusion’ in Sanskrit]
Maya is a unique initiative of the LGBTQI community of Jindal Global University, Sonipat (India). We seek to provide an avenue for discussions on issues of gender and sexuality at the intersection of law. We have already published our first issue.
In the Spotlight
We are having a special section to celebrate our bodies, with a whole set of photos and writings about nudity and nakedness. We encourage you to undertake a legal analysis of nudity and nakedness within the ambit of laws relating to obscenity and freedom of speech and expression. We welcome photos, art, written submissions for the section.
What are we looking for
We seek new and original writings (fiction, nonfiction), case comments, legislative notes, articles, poetry, book/film reviews, opinion pieces, campus reports, research studies, art, & photography. We welcome legal and non-legal articles pertaining to the them of the Magazine.
You can visit our website to get an idea of the kind of articles that we have published.
