Have you ever been told ‘Toughen up!’ or ‘Pink is a girl’s colour!’ or ‘Boys don’t cry!’?

Are all the men you hear about cricketers, movie stars and YouTubers, maybe an occasional business tycoon?

Well, here are the stories of forty-five Indian men who dared to be different. A sailor who circumnavigated the globe. A designer who took Indian fashion to Paris. A doctor who revived rivers. A barefoot artist. Rocket scientists, entrepreneurs, journalists, writers and activists. Men who followed their heart and changed people’s lives. Read about them. Talk about them. Get inspired.

Boys will be boys – go show the world the best way to be one!
