History

2015

The first Queer Gulabi Pride was held on 1 March 2015, organized by Nai Bhor Sanstha. The walk began at Chomu House Circle at 4:00 PM and ended at Statue Circle, covering a distance of approximately one kilometre. [1] The inaugural pride walk saw around 100 participants marching in support of LGBT rights. [2]

This march served as a call to action, urging both the Union and state governments to amend laws that would allow transgender individuals to access welfare schemes, such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA). [3]

Following the April 2014 Supreme Court ruling on transgender rights, [4] the community marched to highlight concerns over the lack of legal protections and social inclusion for transgender individuals.

The second Queer Gulabi Pride was held on 3 April 2016 and was organized by Nai Bhor Sanstha. [5]
