Asexual awareness and activism in India has blossomed recently due to the critical work of an organization known as the Indian Aces, which exists as a collective and support group for asexual people in India. Indian Aces was founded by Dr. Pragati Singh, a medical doctor by qualification that has worked in the fields of maternal, child, and reproductive health. Singh founded Indian Aces in 2014, recently presented at the World Association of Sexual Health, and published work on asexuality in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Singh’s work benefits the asexual community overall on multiple fronts, amplifying its existence and validity in everything from formal presentations to facilitating workshops on the subject. The latest demonstration of this work occurred just last month, in which the Indian Aces collective held the 2nd edition of “Asexuality 101” at the HIV/AIDS alliance center in the city of New Delhi, and facilitated a workshop that educated participants on both sexuality and asexuality. Asexuality 101 takes the approach that in order to effectively understand sexuality one must also understand asexuality at an in-depth and meaningful level, stating that the “two form two sides of the same coin.”
