Crowned with the title of Mr. Gay World India 2016 at the age of 20, Mr. Anwesh Sahoo is the youngest person ever to hold the title. He has been writing about gender related issues since he was 18 years old, drawing from his experiences, providing consolation to people facing the same issues through his words. He is also an illustrator and a connoisseur of old school Indian Art, music, dance and fashion.
Breaking stereotypes as well as the shackles of a boxed mind set, in his talk, Anwesh Sahoo exemplifies what being confident with oneself means. Fighting the brutality he faced in the forms of bullying, eve teasing and being groped, he inspires the crowd by mentioning how being effeminate is not related to the organ between one's legs and how wearing certain clothing or footwear does not define a person, building up the fact that being self confident is the biggest favour a person can do to oneself.
