Abstract

The history, law and views on sexuality in India represent a difficult journey through culture, religion and tradition. Ancient Indian texts such as the Kama Sutra acknowledged same-sex relationships, but British colonial laws introduced gender-based crimes such as Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code of 1861, until the Indian government ruled against racism. Protests and legal issues, including the Navtej Singh Johar decision, have played a significant role in promoting LGBTQ+ rights in India, but overall equality and acceptance remain a constant struggle.
