The Boy Who Wore Bangles

By Riddhi Maniar Doda

Set during the Indian festival of Navratri, this sweet story is about a child who introduces his grandmother to a new perspective on clothing and gender.

Navratri was Bhargav's favourite festival. He loved everything about it -
the twirling chaniyas, the steps of the popat dance, the sweet pedas after the aarti. But what he loved the most was the way the bangles on his wrist sang when he danced. But this year, Bhargav wasn't dancing. Papa had forbidden him from wearing bangles, a morose Bhargav tells Ba. Is there a still a chance he can hear his bangles sing?
