‘We weren’t shy. We were queers in leather!’ Sunil Gupta on his momentous photographs of gay life

From Delhi to New York, from the street to the bath house, he has captured clandestine moments, risked his freedom – and even referenced Romantic painters. Ahead of a major show, the photographer relives his landmark shots ‘I’ve been very promiscuous,” Sunil Gupta says, reflecting on his experiments with photography since the 1970s. Gupta, who was born in India, brought up in Canada and moved to the UK in 1978 after two years studying in New York, has documented and described queer lives for five decades. In his work, he’s quietly tried to find new ways of seeing, exploring the potential of photography to blur fiction and reality, public space and intimate, clandestine moments. His work explores the ways we love and relate to one another, set against the ever-shifting tides of politics and society. He photographs with love – but it hasn’t been without risk. An exhibition in India was once shut down by the government, and in his early days in the UK, when he was working with fellow photographer Tessa Boffin, he recalls curators “physically shrinking away when we walked in the room – two queers in leather were too much for them! But we were quite aggressively upfront with our sexualities, we weren’t shy about it.” Continue reading...

Nifty strategy for today

Nifty may open on flat note as per sgx nifty around at yesterdays closing level. In yesterday session nifty down almost 500 points from opening level which is indicated much weakness in the index. Advance&decline ratio also indicated further weakness in the index so I am expecting nifty may take support around at 23050 levels in today session if nifty closed below this level on daily closing basis it will reach to 22400 in the upcoming days. India vix is spiked up to 10% in yesterday so volatility may increased in the nifty so investors traded with strict stop losses and also take position at support and resistance levels. Fed may hike rates in this policy meet and crude oil price are traded at peaks and also U.S declared 100% tariffs on Indian imports all these are negative for our market in the short term so better follow selling on rise strategy instead of buy on dips strategy. Nifty selling strategy : sell price :23320 stop loss :23420 target :23245 Nifty buying strategy : buy price :23050 stop loss :22945 target :23220 stock of the day :Kpit technology this stock has fallen from 2000 levels to 560 where it has good support on daily charts so I am expecting some technical bounce in this stock. Rsi indicates it is in the oversold zone so traders can buy this stock around these level with strict stop loss. Buy price :555 stop loss : 540 target : 583 Disclaimer : I am not a Sebi research analyst please take advise from your financial advisor before take any position based on my recommendation and drop a comment on my recommendation which is helpful me to correct my mistakes.

'Revolutionary change in American foreign policy': Canada pivoting towards EU, India and China

François Picard is pleased to welcome Anne Applebaum, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of Autocracy, Inc. According to Applebaum, the upheaval in American diplomacy and foreign policy transcends any one administration. She describes a full-fledged transformation in the way the United States exerts power, pivoting away from leadership of a democratic alliance and toward a transactional, mafia-style politics that fuses ideology, private economic interests, personal relationships and geopolitical leverage.

BRICS Summit Takes Aim at U.S. Influence Over the Global Economy

Like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS, the global grouping of emerging markets and developing countries, is intent on diminishing Western influence over the world economy.

Both the SCO and BRICS include China, India, Iran and Russia as permanent members. Among the four, India, the host nation for this edition of the BRICS annual summit, has acted as a brake…

LNG Demand in China and India Could Surge When Prices Normalize

Depressed LNG demand in recent months in China and India is the result of spiking LNG prices due to the Middle East conflict, and consumption in the key Asian gas import markets is set to rebound once the war ends and prices normalize, industry executives say.   The war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have choked LNG supply out of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Persian Gulf producers have managed to find workarounds for oil deliveries, including shuttle-shipping crude out of the Strait and then transferring the cargo…
