Jharkhand witnessed its first Pride march on Saturday, 7 April. Members of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer (LGBTQ) community organised the state's first Queer Pride parade in Jamshedpur.

The members left no stone unturned to make the event a memorable one – with rainbow flags, balloons and celebratory music, the streets of Jamshedpur wore a happy look. Slogans like “my body, my rights”, “humari azadi hum chheen ke lengey (we will snatch our freedom)”, and “I am gay and it's okay!” made several passersby stop their vehicles.
