ABSTRACT
This chapter examines collective and individual acts of resistance and simultaneous efforts by dissident citizens to articulate strategies of critiquing civil society's role in the Supreme Court decision. It also examines the ways in which these strategies are deployed through digital media. Citizenship has increasingly becoming a contested term with critiques based on race, disability and sexuality. These differences impact the ways in which people experience citizenship. At the heart of queer politics is the dissident citizen and the notion of dissident citizenship. The chapter presents two case studies to look at the ways in which queer dissidence manifests on digital spaces in India, and the ways in which the digital space supports and aids ongoing queer activism in India. In order to do so, it explores the changing nature of protest cultures and their transactions within the complicated circuits of communication media.
