I would try the Thorntree forum on Lonelyplanet.com. You can get information about roads and current situations from fellow travelers.

Hi Kobi,
1. Kashmir is beginning to get cold, right now is very pleasant.
2. Transgender story, speak to an NGO based in New Delhi called Sahara, they do work on them.
3. Shipyard in Gujarat i.e. Alang, its a long shot, with bomb blasts, you might have problems getting access…try your luck.

I know a good couple of fixers. Let me know what your needs are or PM.

Anamitra sorry I had to literally flee the country :) but I will be in touch when I come in in a couple of months.

Best,

Alex

Well, I have a friend in Kashmir who might be able to help you. His name is Sultan and you can get in touch with him by email. Please send me a private message and I will send you his email address.

His family owns a couple of Houseboats and this gentlemen is one of the most enterprising guys I have met there.

When I was there, Sultan and his brother took care of me like a friend and helped me a lot in my research.

You can get in touch with him if you are interested and you can take my reference…

For the transgender stuff, you should talk to Lightstalker Alessandro Vincenzi, who has worked in Mumbai:
