In December 1996, a group on the NLS campus led by Sanjay (now Kabir) Bavikatte organized the first gay rights seminar ever to be held on a University campus in India. The slogan for it was contributed by Gopal Shankarnarayanan (now SA in SC). It was held over a weekend and many independent thinkers like Flavia Agnes, Ratna Kapur and Indira Jaising participated. The group led by Kabir included Arvind Narain, Mathew John and the then President of NLS Meghana Abraham who was later with Amnesty for nearly 20 years. There was a lot of support from alumni as well including Vivek Divan.
