Research background
'Homosexual activity is a criminal offense under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, a code drafted by Lord Macaulay during British rule. Homosexual activity between consenting adults was decriminalised by the Delhi High Court in 2009, but it was overruled by the Supreme Court in 2013. Currently, homosexual sexual activity carries a ten-year sentence in India.' (Publication abstract)
