So far we have looked at the side fighting against 377. But what were they up against? Apart from the Union Government who was required to be there, a few other individuals joined the defense of their own volition.
In this episode we take a look at the other side. Journalist Shivam Vij recounts his meeting with Mr. BP Singhal, a hindutva writer and with Joint Action Council, Kannur founder, Purushottaman Mulloli. We also get to see how poorly those views translate into actual court proceedings. The result is a resounding victory for the gay community—homosexuality is decriminalised. The judges also introduce an important legal concept: constitutional morality.
What role can the constitution play in progressing the views of the wider public? How key is it in preventing the oppression of a minority?
