homosexuality.....not a crime

India is supposed to be conservative,ethnic country.but who labelled us so.if we go centuries back and peek a little it is clearly visible that ancient India the real India was much more liberal.caves of ajanta and Elora,sun temple of orissa is a living example.
it is certainly very heartening to see that our country has lost its individuality and blindly follows what others have preached and believe in others legacy.we often say we are proud of our culture and heritage but do we really understand what our culture is?before the establishment of ipc in 1860 there was no force applied on homosexuality and people from different places used to come to India and settle because of its liberal environment.but being gay was strongly frowned upon by Britishers who amended ipc 377 thus criminalising homosexuality.more than a century has passed since then and England is done with that kind of ridiculous law but India still sticks to its masters' whims and fancies!
what is wrong if two people love each other and want to be in the company of each other.its their personal preference.if i like a guy its my choice and the same way if i happen to like a girl and love her no one has the right to point a finger at me.
when i see people protesting for gay rights i don't know whether i am feeling happy that Indians are coming out of closet or claustrophobic as we are not allowed to be the way we want to be.we don't have to take out a rally if we have to breathe pure air,eat food or more interestingly get married to opposite sex then why we have have to go through so much of ordeal to establish our choices?
i have lot of friends who have come out in day light and bravely told the world about their choices and faced mockery extended up to the level of cruelty with a smiling face.people who supports the notion''going against the nature'' always brings out the aids issue........they have nothing else to say!if they are so much concerned about the spread of the deadly disease then they should first vandalise the brothels and make sure that infected blood is not transferred to any unconscious patient!
but do they have time time for that?they would rather hurl abuses to gays and lesbians than doing something to save our society from real menace.
the truth is we Indians are hypocrites!........its high time now that we stand in front of the mirror and evaluate character.
