In 2018, in the landmark decision of Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India, the Supreme Court of India decriminalised consensual homosexual intercourse by reading down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code and excluding consensual homosexual sex between adults from its ambit.[10] Homosexuality was never illegal or a criminal offence in ancient Indian and traditional codes but was criminalised by the British Raj during their rule in India.
Very well described. Insightful in many ways. Thank you.
