Is India a hidden Islamic and

homophobic nation?
India is a secular nation and the second largest
democracy in the world but all these qualities exist on
paper only. The reality of India is far more different than
what is shown. The recent update about homosexuality
is totally shocking. India joins other homophobic
nations to vote against the equal rights to same sex
partners at UN. Most of the homophobic countries
involved in this are Islamic countries like Pakistan,
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, Qatar, Oman, UAE etc.
India intentionally and excitedly supported these
nations besides knowing the fact that homosexuals
face brutality and death sentence in these Islamic
nations very often. Is this the indication of India as the
new Islamic nation?
The tag of secularism and democracy is fading day by
day specially because of the ideology and thinking of
Indian political leaders. In current scenario the current
political party in power is blamed to be ignorant
towards this issue and its a known fact but looking at
the past, among all the political parties of India there is
not a single party who has ever stood in favour of
homosexuality or has ever taken pains in putting this
issue in parliament for the debate.
India claims that India is secular and people have to
follow the constitution and not any particular religion to
live or express. The constitution gives fundamental
rights to every person living in India including right to
equality and right to liberty and freedom including the

rights of minorities but the recent case of India voting

against same sex couples and further criminalising of
same sex relation in India proves that neither the
political leaders nor the government cares about
constitution. They use term constitution to get votes
and popularity but in reality constitution is kept away
locked in a cupboard and nobody has right to apply it
for the people.
Whenever any debate on homosexuality comes up,
Muslim organisations and its leaders jump into the
discussion in the most aggressive manner. They use the
term Islam and their religion to boycott and stand
against homosexuality. The reasoning of being against
homosexuality is their religion Islam which they
advocate in the country India where constitution has
the power not any particular religion to make rules for
the people. It seems so surprising that Muslims are
powerful to so much extent in the nation India that they
openly oppose the constitution and considers
homosexuality as a crime as it is written in their religion
Islam. The political leaders of India behave deaf, blind
and vain as if India is an Islamic country and voice of
Hindus cannot be heard here.
Hindu mythology and historic evidences in Hindu
culture has shown evidences of homosexuality but still
Hindus in India support Muslims when it comes to
standing against homosexuals. The funniest statements
given by many Hindu and Muslim leaders are that they
dont hate homosexuals but they hate homosexuality.
They also say that they dont want homosexuals to
practise homosexuality but they can live as

homosexuals. This is the most funniest and non

relevant statement on record shown on every media
channel in India. The so called authorised Hindu saints
give their negative verdict about homosexuality as if
they are fully aware about the issue.
Lot of the ministers believe that homosexuality is a
disease or mental illness and some even consider this
as a delegation imported from the west. Many believe it
is contagious and most of the leaders believe that its a
choice. The reality is that they dont want to see the
reality. They dont want to believe the scientific
evidences and they dont want to tolerate the truth.
They are the born superstitious people who still believe
in miracles and myths. The term development and
change are very big for them to digest. It is the bad
luck of the country that people with non liberal views
are ruling the nation India. It looks like that India is a
country where dictatorship is in fashion. It seems like
our political leaders consider leaders like Hitler as their
inspiration as this is clearly reflected in their actions
and behaviour towards the minorities.
Lack of education and illiteracy is widespread in India
which prevents people from seeing the reality. Most of
the political leaders, religious saints and gurus are
illiterate and uneducated. They dont have any
knowledge about science and sexuality the only thing
they are blessed with is politics which they play very
well in India.
Homosexuals have to fight a big battle to get their
rights. Many homosexuals are aware about the reality
of Indian leaders. In order to live their life with pride

and freedom many homosexuals have worked hard and

migrated to developed nations where homosexuality is
acceptable. Frankly speaking If homosexuals want to
have a good peaceful life, they have to leave the nation
India and migrate to the nations who welcome
homosexuality with open hands as this is one life they
have got and being stuck in India and fighting for the
rights is a total waste of time as the political leaders of
India have a stubborn mindset of ignorance and
insensitiveness which cannot be changed in a short
span of time.
