The community is seeking support from political parties and may approach the court. The police suggested holding the rally at Azad Maidan, but activists argue this undermines the visibility and mainstreaming of queer rights.

No investor will be convinced to enter India until it gets its house in order.
The article criticizes India's claim to be an emerging economic superpower, highlighting the recent banking sector crises as evidence of systemic rot. It details the $1.8 billion loan fraud involving Nirav Modi and Punjab National Bank, the failure of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to act, and the subsequent resignation of RBI Governor Urjit Patel. The article also covers the Punjab Maharashtra Cooperative (PMC) Bank's creation of fictitious accounts to conceal bad loans, and the collapse of Yes Bank due to risky lending practices. The author argues that the Indian government's response to these crises has been inadequate, with the burden of bailouts falling on the poor through the State Bank of India. The article suggests that without addressing these issues, India cannot hope to attract investors and truly achieve superpower status.
