First Love: a video by IIT-B students

ByOrinam Jul 28 2014Jul 30 2014

In this heart-warming video, students of IIT-Bombay speak about their first love, including the kind that dares speak its name.

Says Aditya Shankar from Saathi, the campus LGBT group, “…the video was made for sensitising IIT-Bombay freshmen on sexual orientation. The languages chosen reflect the undergraduate demographic composition. But the video was specifically made so that it doesn’t become very specific to IIT-B as was the video last year in which I came out of the closet.”

Kudos to SAATHI for this effort! Click below to watch the video:
