Thank you for the reference. We met Ashok Ravi while touring India in 2000, with CODA TOURS ( all gay Americans and Canadians !!) He lectured to us in Mumbai introducing us to Gay India. We became personally friendly and met other gay Indians as well as foreigners in India thru him.
His work for the Gay cause has been admirable, courageous and pioneering. India should be as proud of Ashok as we are.

I found out that Ashok was featured on one of the station's flagship shows called "Outlook." This morning, over my first cup of coffee, I heard the interview. I thoroughly enjoyed knowing more about a man that I have personally known, albeit rather casually, for several years. I recommend this interview to anyone who would like to know more about one of India's pioneering hay rights activists. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0245lv8 Kris
