Burn the Kamasutra. In the land of ancient erotica, a 143-year-old British law makes illegal any sexual activity that is not procreative.

Unbelievable? The law is in your bedroom and there is little you can do about it. A homosexual can get a life term in jail for indulging in consensual sex. This when punishment for rape is seven years

Not just that. Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, says Vivek Diwan of Lawyers Collective, is interpreted to suggest that if even a man and woman, married or otherwise, indulge in anything but the straight and narrow required to produce a child, they could be hauled up if caught in the act. Even in their home. So no oral sex unless you are sure you won't be busted. Actually, no sex for pleasure at all.

Social workers appealing against the provisions of Section 377, an 1860 Christian law on "unnatural offences", say it is being used to exploit homosexuals. Proponents of the law point out that it is also used in cases of child abuse and sodomy. That of course begs another question. When child abuse is rampant, why is there no separate law to deal with it?

Section 377 says: "Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine."

Gay rights:

A hot debate on the law has brought gay rights in focus again, but in India it is not about marriage or religious rights. It is about the basic right to exist. The Centre asserted last week that homosexuality cannot be legalised in the country as society does not approve of it and that it goes against public morality.

The government's statement is a blow for gay rights activists as well as non-governmental organisations battling HIV/AIDS. Shaleen Rakesh, gay rights activist and project coordinator at Delhi-based NGO Naz Foundation, finds it amazing that a 19th century British law can be applied to a sexual minority in a way that outlaws an entire community.

"It is about the fundamental rights of gays to indulge in sexual activity of their choice. The fear of being illegal takes away the every identity of homosexuals, so any other rights cannot even be conceived of," says Shaleen. Naz Foundation has appealed in court about the use of Section 377 against homosexuals.

The NGO says work on AIDS, like condom distribution among homosexuals, is severely hampered as these people refuse to come forward. "They fear the police as there have been cases where gays have been rounded up under Section 377 and threatened with imprisonment," says Shaleen, adding that these cowering individuals are often victims of extortion or even forced to have sex with policemen.

Naz had in the past also appealed to the National Human Rights Commission in a case where a homosexual was subjected to "aversion therapy" by a psychiatrist to "cure" him of his "malaise". The petition was dismissed.

Globally, a significant ten percent of the sexually active male population is homosexual. Shaleen quotes a random survey among 2000 Indian conducted by the Institute for Economic Growth where 34 per cent men answered in the affirmative to a question on whether they had ever had a sexual experience with another man.

Of Indian ethos:

Vivek Diwan junks the use of 377 pointing out that the law cannot just be used against consenting homosexual adults, but also against heterosexuals who have sex that is not procreative. "The law has been interpreted to exclude all but procreative sex between man and woman as legal."

Thus, he points out, even the government's family planning programme can be questioned as it encourages non-procreative sexual activity through the use of contraception.

The man who is putting forth the government's view in court Additional Solicitor General KK Sood, stoutly defends the use of Section 377 against homosexuals: "We must uphold some moral standards", he says, equating homosexuality with obscenity. "We have to guard the health of future generations."

But he also points out that though a sexual act between two men or indeed even "deviant" sex between man and woman are punishable by law, it is unlikely that the law will be applied unless one partner complains or they are caught indulging thus in a public place. 'Then, other laws like those for obscenity in public places or rape would apply in any case."

Sood admits that procreative sex is the only kind that will not qualify as "carnal intercourse" as described in Section 377. And that the government has had to give in for the larger good as far as family planning is concerned. For the rest, he says, it is "absurd to term Section 377 a British law" because the very grain of ancient Indian ethos is contained in it.

So where did Vatsayayna's 64 positions and the erotic carvings in Khajuraho come from? Sood gets the last word: "Those are only an artistic display of the fact that deviations exist. So that you can make the rules to control them."

during my days is silchar i was unfomartable , sometimes i met few peoples in gandhi bagh park in evening , but it was always difficult to express my sexulity a small and conservative place .
Being gay is a reality for the certain human beings as much as are the other realities of this universe which apply to certain class of persons. Discussion of this topic appears as is keeping long hair a fashion statement.This is purely a case of personal choices. I personally feel that as i am; I feel more comfortable in relation with my male friends than being fooled around by females. This is my choice; so what in addition to this when I am mentally more comfortable with my male friends then naturally i am at ease in bed also.As sex is outcome of physical & mental pleasure; and we have all means of enjoying best of times and of course we take a real good time. Let the gays (a name only like a girl or a boy) be what they are. Just leave individuals to live & enjoy the times the way they want. Being a gay or a girl if all of us are using our bodies for getting some favours how does it makes a difference whether the body of a male is on sale or of a girl. Of course this is not sole prerogative of girls to make use of their parts to get soem favours or earn some bucks. If soem of males also do the same why so much of cry when we know the lakhs of girls doing the same each day/night alone in Mumbai from each class of society. I am at ease with submitting myself to my male friend and letting him have me all the ways he wants. At the same time reversing the roles is a great fun.

Yes, it is becoming a Fashion Statement, and that is it - just a Fashion Statement. GAYhood being acceptable or not in INDIAN society is an incorrect statement in itself. We are in a society, where even being open or vocal about our Heterosexual habits is not done, then why the heck the questions are being raised about Gayhood? I think, we, Indians, are passing through a phase of transformation, where we feel great and victorious after glorigying anything that is likely to become scandalous or raise eyebrows. I am yet to see a person who openly acknowledges his normal (straight) sexual habits, then, FROM WHERE THIS QUESTION OF DISCUSSING OR ACKNOWLEDGING THE GAY HABITS HAS COME IN???????? Agreed, this is reality and does exist in the society, yes, everyone knows it. Why to discuss it in public??? Just to draw attention, kill the guilt inside or just to sound DIFFERENT and MODERN? There are bigger and firmer facts in human life, but are not supposed to be discussed in public, because of some unwritten yet understood social norms. The norms that we have learnt to abide by during the process of our living and growing up in this society. We are trying to thrust upon ourselves few habits, which haven't been a part of our lives. For reaching every stage of social norms, there is always an intermediate stage which all us have to pass through. Just trying to jump from one extreme to another is dangerous for the society. It shall result in two extremeties - two echelons of society diametrically opposite and hostile to each other, and then the tension would start. If something is reality and happening but scandalous or not socially acceptable, let it be untouched and undiscussed till the time we reach a stage where all are mature and prepared enough to discuss all this. At that time, it would be a reality that is worhty of being discussed and not just a FASHION STATEMENT!!!!!!!!

Yes, gay is becoming more and more acceptable. Its a good sign and we must thank to electronic media as directly or undirectly it is causing awareness in the public. Being gay is not abnormal, afterall Gays are the part of society.And one can always see, rather it has been proved that most of the talented, charming, handsome men are gays and they are contributing to the well being of the society. Being gay, is just the matter of sexual orientation. Otherwise gays are as normal as the other men. So its not at all correct that one should looked down at the one who is Gay. Being Gay, myself, I would be happy if society accept us with what we are. It will be then easy for us to live a normal life as other straight men do rather than wearing a mask,hiding the true face and suffocating our souls within our bodies.

Psychologists all over the world (including India)have agreed that homosexuality is not a mental disorder & does not require treatment. A person is born that way , similar to a left handed person. They are trying to isolate the gene responsible for it. All those who feel(including the Indian government)that homosexuality is a crime or a mental disorder should open their eyes & minds wide & read & look around the world they live in. More than 10% of the population is gay/lesbian. Most gays are sensitive, caring & are the only siblings that care & look after their parents. It is a pity that the Indian Government & the police think that being a criminal in Politics is fine, but being gay is a crime

The gays are nothing but very sick persons. They are more repulsive than attractive. We like the girls very much for their beauty and tenderness. The gays don't have those qualities. They are still masculine anyway.

From Times of India :
Why should homosexuality be a crime?

At a time when a large number of countries worldwide have legalised gay & lesbian rights, in India the outdated Section 377 of the IPC, framed in 1860, defines homosexuality as a crime even though an ever-increasing population of same-sex couples is a reality.

People who refuse to fit every expression of their sexuality under one homogeneous umbrella to satisfy society. People who reaffirm their rejection of a singular identity. People who are beaten, harassed and jailed simply because of their sexual orientation. This is the world of gays, lesbians and bisexuals — sexual minorities which have given India, and the world, some of its most creative people, including Walt Whitman, Elton John, Michelangelo and Gianni Versace.

Homosexuals are as normal as ‘you’ and ‘me’. Yet, just because they love ‘their own kind’, they are ostracised and hounded by the law. And branded as ‘queers’ and ‘aberrations’ — precisely what they are not. ‘‘Homosexuals are normal humans attracted to their own gender. Relationships are defined by comfort levels and not societal sanctions,’’ says psychiatrist Jitendra Nagpal, MD, “Like heterosexuality, homosexuality is an orientation which is not unnatural. The world accepts this orientation; society is changing.’’ What is not changing is the legal mindset in India.

According to Section 377 of the IPC, framed in 1860, ‘‘Whosoever has carnal intercourse voluntarily against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or imprisonment for a term which may extend to 10 years, and shall be liable to fine.’’

Ironically, while the British drafted Section 377 of the IPC, while replacing a tolerant Indian attitude towards sexuality with a highly oppressive one, this law was repealed in the UK in 1967.

‘‘This outdated law violates the fundamental rights of homosexuals. Under the existing law, even consensual sex is branded as sodomy and people are booked. A petition has been filed against this law and the matter is sub-judice,’’ says Aditya Bandhopadhyaya, a lawyer fighting for the rights of sexual minorities, Counters DCP (crime) Deependra Pathak, ‘‘Although this law exists, it is hardly used in the case of consenting-adult relationships except when we receive a complaint.’’

Gay rights activists, however, refuse to buy the police version. ‘‘Gays are beaten up and even raped under the cloak of this law,’’ says gay rights activist Shaleen Rakesh of the Naaz Foundation. Rakesh refers to a case in point. ‘‘Two years ago, gays were forced into medication to ‘cure’ them. This mistreatment included shock and aversion therapy. When we petitioned the NHRC, the case was rejected in the light of Section 377.’’

Medically-speaking, evidence points to homosexuality being a function of biology. A study conducted by Dean Hamer in 1994, wherein he studied 40 pairs of homosexual brothers, reports that 33 pairs shared a set of five genetic markers. Hamer concluded that genetics played ‘‘some role’’ in a minority of gays.

A recent study conducted by the UNFPA in rural India has found that male-to-male sex is not uncommon. ‘‘In fact, a higher percentage of men reported male-to-male sex than sex with sex-workers. Close to 10 per cent of unmarried men and 3 per cent of married men reported sex with other men in the past 12 months,’’ says the study.

Today, homosexuality is recognised across the globe, with the Netherlands being the first country to permit marriage for gay and lesbian couples. While the UK has passed legislation recognising gay relationships, 37 states across the US have blocked anti-sodomy laws. Events such as Mardi Gras in Sydney, Midsumma in Melbourne, Gay and Lesbian Pride in Johannesburg, Women’s Celebration Week in Greece, and the Gay and the Lesbian Film Festival in Lisbon express the essence of being homosexual.

Yet, India remains untouched though literature drawn from Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, and modern fiction testify to the presence of same-sex love in various forms. Ancient texts such as the Manu Smriti, Arthashastra, Kamasutra, Upanishads and Puranas refer to homosexuality. ‘‘India, with its overt emphasis on reproduction, has made same-sex love taboo. But with society becoming permissive about homosexuals, the law must be in step with the times,’’ says sociologist Radhika Chopra.

If laws are supposed to represent socially-acceptable dos and don’ts, then a new mindset is the need of the hour. Otherwise, normal human beings will continue to suffer inhuman exploitation just because nature has nourished them with the need to be different.

Some interesting observations, ranging from the hilarious theses dating back to the days of Adam and Eve, and *not* Adam and Adam, and this is Western, *not* Indian, what many do not realise is that being gay is a state of mind, and with associated emotional content too. I cannot love a woman the way I love a man, and I dream of the company of a man, in the same old ways of the family, too. Sex, long since taken out of the purely procreative context, is also part of it. That said, why discuss this matter, which is purely personal:? Because being part of the society, I need acceptance in the same way I would accept a normal heterosexual couple, when I am with my partner. The societal acceptance is what people who are gay seek; it is not the right to have sex in public. If being introduced to another as 'his boyfriend' is shocking to most, that attitude has to change. Discussions of this nature helps, at least in the sense that many are forced to acknowledge this as a reality, well within the society. I think the original title of this discussion created a lot of confusion: It is *not* a fashion statement. It is a reality, that needs to be acknowledged and accepted by all. No amount of hypocritical theses would help.

'Gays have rights in any sane country'

In a day and age when homosexuals worldwide enjoy the same rights as other citizens, gays & lesbians in India are fighting for their basic existence. Prominent personalities protest against the injustice faced by same-sex couples.

Mahesh Bhatt (film-maker): The issue of same-sex love concerns two consenting adults —the state has no business to poke its nose into the matter. The fact is that this is a country wherein even fundamental rights are denied to certain citizens — in this case, homosexuals. The issue here is akin to the freedom of eating and wearing what one wants to. The only way of combating archaic laws such as Section 377 of the IPC lies in people expressing their opinions fearlessly.

Vijay Mallya (industrialist): Being a gay, lesbian or bisexual is a matter of personal choice which comes under the purview of the right to freedom. Homosexual bonds are about two consenting adults conducting their lives in the way they want to. In any case, no law is ever framed with the intention of probing into the private lives of people. Rather, laws should protect the rights of citizens. In no way should individual choice be tampered with.

Fardeen Khan (Actor): I knew lots of gay peoples , they are quite normal and friendly .

Diana Hayden (former Miss World): It is amazing that archaic laws such as Section 377 continue to exist in today’s time. How can the law view homosexuality as a crime and punish gays and lesbians when there is scientific evidence pointing to homosexuality being genetic? Admittedly, such evidence was not available to law-makers when this particular legislation was framed. But things have changed and the law should recognise the fact that homosexuality is influenced by genetics.

Kapil Sibal (lawyer): I would say that the state has to accept reality and act accordingly. For, the state can’t control an individual’s personal life. For instance, if a man and a woman do not desire to stay together, the law can’t force them to do so. Similarly, the state can’t act as an arbitrator in the case of homosexuality. I feel that the law should be more humane and more objective towards the issue of legal rights for gays and lesbians.

Suneet Varma (fashion designer): Certain Indian laws are ridiculously outdated. No one here seems to understand that gays and lesbians need legal rights like everybody else. In India, there are no movements or hangouts for gays, and punishment for homosexuals is stringent. Personally, I have not faced any problems. Being homosexual is about the freedom of choice and things should be left at that.

Ajay Shriram (industrialist): Be it a woman and a man, a man and a man, or a woman and a woman, if a couple has consensual sex, I do not see anything wrong with it. It is only when one partner, irrespective of the nature of the union, raises objections that the question of there being something wrong arises. I feel that homosexuals should be left to conduct their private lives in the manner they want to.

Anjolie Ela Menon (painter): I have always been an advocate of personal freedom and am surprised to hear that a law framed in 1860 continues to exist. Fortunately, law enforcement in this country is lax and, perhaps, conviction under this particular law is not pervasive. This is an age which is not homophobic and an increasing number of gays and lesbians are able to come out of the closet. The law should be changed to reflect this reality.

Deepak Kapur (partner, PriceWaterhouseCoopers): It is absurd that we have to bear a law such as Section 377 of the IPC, which prohibits two same-gender adults from having consensual sex in the confines of privacy. No law in any sane country imposes such restrictions. No one should interfere with homosexuals as long as two consenting adults conduct their matters privately without exhibitionism

I believe, we see beauty and support a male and a female making love & we admit, it is something not just meant for reproduction but something beyond the scope of reproduction also. So, if we have recognized and supported that then we cannot run away from supporting gays or lesbians. If making love brings pleasure of highest order to a human being, then homosexuality brings the same pleasure for a small section of our society. And stopping them or discouraging them is to deprive them from experiencing the pleasure of highest order in their terms and which is inhumane WITHOUT any doubt. I believe this openness of our mind or for that matter tolerance of this nature would sip into our mind-set, as we get more and more maturer. And this kind of discussion would just contribute towards that and so, those who still smell foul in these kind of discussions plsssss.....try to be little bit open ...honest...frank and give a fresh look and may be this exercise by yourself would create a better human being out of you.

Now, one query….doubt….curiosity…..do we see homosexuality in a small place like silchar also….I don’t mean or refer to neo-homosexuals if at all any…I mean the generations of few decades back or so….why I am interested to know…..to find out…if this homosexuality is a concept of west or it really exists……..rather existed in a time when probably people had never even heard about gays..or lesbians…
