A royal property located on the scenic banks of the Narmada river that once hosted the likes of the Viceroy of India and author Ian Fleming will be turned into India\u2019s first resource centre for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community.<\/p>\n
Rajpipla\u2019s gay prince Manvendra Singh Gohil is developing the centre at a palace now named \u201cHanumanteshwar 1927\u201d. This structure was originally built by his ancestors on 15 acres of land about 15 km from Rajpipla town, in Gujarat\u2019s Narmada district. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy greatgrandfather, Maharaja Vijaysinhji, the last ruler of Rajpipla, had constructed this royal property.<\/p>\n
It has hosted many dignitaries, including the Viceroy of India, members of the royal family and Hollywood celebrities. Iam developing it into a resource centre for the sexual minorities,\u201d said Manvendra, who calls it an LGBTQA centre (where \u201cA\u201d stands for \u201cAlly\u201d \u2014 those who support the community in their rights). <\/p>\n
\u201cThe centre will impart skills in the fields of computers, English language and others to LGBTQ community members so they get employment opportunities and become financially independent,\u201d said Gohil.<\/p>\n
