YODA PRESS was founded in 2004 with an alternative publishing vision, aimed at creating lists which were not a priority for other publishers in India even though these subjects had developed criticality, authorship and an audience, such as sexuality, popular culture, cities and urbanism, architecture as a lived experience, and new perspectives in Indian history and sociology. In 2005 after the publication of Because I Have a Voice: Queer Politics in India (edited by Arvind Narrain and Gautam Bhan), YODA PRESS came to be widely known as the LGBT publisher of South Asia. Indeed, it was the only publisher with a dedicated sexualities series at that time. In 2011, YODA PRESS launched its trade list with titles in the genres of travel, food and memoir.
On 21 November YODA PRESS will celebrate ten years of alternative writing and publishing with conversations, discussions, readings, pecha kucha and performances featuring their authors and/or highlighting their lists.
