Khuli Zaban Website
DESCRIPTION
Khuli Zaban, a South Asian Queer women's group, was founded by Leema Khan and Neena Hemmady in Chicago, IL. The group held its first meeting in October 1995.
The original Khuli Zaban website (seen here) was last updated in 2002 and accessible through Geocities. The home page features an animated image of a person whose tongue extends out of the mouth, with links associated with different body parts. A page titled Coming Out of The Face features an article from a 1997 issue of Shamakami describing the foundation of Khuli Zaban in 1995. A page titled Desi Shawl includes links to resources. A page titled Bellybook allowed visitors to leave public comments between 1998 through 2000.
