The dilution of article 377 and the nod from the high court not to criminalise those who get attracted to the same sex and indulge in sexual activities with consent has raised many eyebrows beyond imagination and equally welcomed by many enthusiasts who no longer feel the embarrassment to call themselves as belonging to forum 33 as I have christened it!!
This freedom, in a way, may help in bringing down the population of our country which is very much the need of the hour? Years back, during the emergency period, the Late Mr sanjay gandhi advocated Nas Bandhi or the forced vasectomy performed on many young and old alike for which incentives were given! The net result was the Congress (I) lost the elections very badly. Probably, the rejuvenated Congress(I) has found this new way of controlling the population without hurting the sentiments of any community? only time will tell if this scheme or freedom helps in plugging the ever escalating population growth of our great country in order to reap the fruits of economic development?
For the ever loving parents, this is an additional problem of finding a suitable partner for their kith and kins!! Imagine the plight of the parents in finding a suitable match for their wards and what would they say if they had to advertise in the matrimonial columns??!!
The problems do not stop here if the vamsham or the family has to be taken forward or expanded. There will have to be adoptions in case the family needs a Heir. For the heir, whom will he address as father and whom the mother and what will the order when he enrolls in a school?
For the Conservative families, it will be hard to think of welcoming a son-in-law or a son-ET-loss!! The complexity of problems surrounding this mighty freedom to allow Forum 33 will be many and mind-boggling!
Soon parents may find themselves in a quandary if they have to hunt a match for their children and more of problems when they face a situation of seeing the same gender walking hand-in-hand into their house announcing love for each other!!
The world is changing in rocket speed and so are the virtues and Morales! It is better for all those parents to keep themselves physically healthy and mentally tough should they meet any such eventualities in their life so that the shocks are absorbed within- Zor ka jatka Dheere se!!
Expect the unexpected!!
I guess it is time for parents to brace themselves for the inevitable. With this ruling, i suppose more people would come out of the closet and embrace their true nature. Instead of mocking the very idea or blaming it as a sickness, its time to start accepting such people and welcome them to lead their lives in peace!!
ReplyDeleteOf course that being said, as Mr.Raju pointed out, I cant help but think what the future has in store for us? if this notion gets completely assimilated into our archaic Indian society, would we still hold on to our communal prejudices... hmm.. Perhaps you would find astrologers offering match-making services for the same sex or Parents seeking out suitable grooms for their "Well groomed Son"... Who knows?? I guess the best we can do is wait and watch, as the story of Adam & (St)eve unfolds... The apple really fell far from the tree !!
