In this regard, it is profitable to quote a few lines from Fredrich Nietzsche: - “The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.” This is the price of owing yourself as being homosexual in India is considered a taboo, immoral and a disgrace to one’s family, community and culture. Social stigma still looms large over the LGBT community in India, but in recent years significant social and legal progress has been made, to demarginalize and integrate the LGBT community to the mainstream Indian society. INTRODUCTION Homosexuality means sexual interest in and attraction to members of one’s own sex. The term gay is frequently used as a synonym for homosexual; female homosexuality is often referred to as lesbianism.1 People who fall under such category are referred as belonging to the LGBT+ community. It stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans etc. the plus means other sexual orientations on the spectrum of sexuality. Human sexuality is complex.2 The acceptance of the distinction between desire, behavior and identity acknowledges the multidimensional nature of 1 The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica, Homosexuality, Encyclopædia Britannica (Oct. 13, 2020, 7:25 PM), https://www.britannica.com/topic/homosexuality. 2 Drescher J, Byne WM.

Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 2009. pp. 2060–89. 10 PIF – A++ ISSN 2581-6349 sexuality.3 Gay usually refers to romantic relationship between two men, lesbian between two women, bisexual meaning being attracted to both men and women. Just identifying yourself as gay or lesbian has severe consequences, A recent study found that one of the major factors that results in the stigmatization of LGBT people is parental reaction towards homosexuality.4 Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil, whose coming out story is well-documented in the media and runs the Lakshya Trust that works for HIV/Aids prevention in the LGBT community said “I know of someone who got a sudden rush of inspiration from a TV program and decided to come out to his family. It didn’t work. He lost his home, his job, everything. I always tell people to be fully aware of their own reality. Be financially prepared. Detach a bit from your family both emotionally and financially before you plan to take this step." LEGAL RECOGNITION Supreme Court legalized the homosexual relations in its landmark judgement by striking down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.5 It marked a major step forward for LGBT rights and opened the door for further progress for the civil rights movement. On 6 September 2018, the court delivered its unanimous verdict, declaring portions of the law relating to consensual sexual acts between adults unconstitutional. Further legal and social changes are needed for LGBT individuals to gain full acceptance and equality within Indian society. However, the judgement transcended the LGBT issue with the 3 Sathyanarayana Rao T S, Jacob K S. Homosexuality and India.

Year 2015. Version 1.0. The Humsafar Trust Page 1 SANCHAAR Media Guide: A Recommended Language Manual For Improved Reporting On Sexual Minorities In India FOREWORD The lexicon of same-sex relations in the human is sparsely populated. And that is not only because it was not understood but because it was stigmatised by religion and mainstream heterosexual society. Even today, the term “sodomy” and “catamites” are used in many legal documents and discourses in the USA and these were derived from Biblical texts. The first stirrings of movement on a rational basis to describe same-sex relations started in Europe a little before the region plunged into what are called World War I and World War II. Both were really wars fought by European Nation States and drew in both resources and knowledge from the colonies. Thus Edward Carpenter in England, Magnus Hirschfield in Germany, Havelock Ellis is Austria, all tried their hand at “naming” this phenomenon which was ancient in that they find mention in all human societies across the globe obviously making it a cross=species sexual behaviour. However, as the Upanishads say: “Defining reality or verbalising it – the’Vakas it is called in Sanskrit, took a very long time in secular sciences.

Faculty Scholar Director, Center for Internet and Society February 27, 2020 Reply Comments on TRAI Consultation Paper on "Traffic Management Practices (TMPs) and Multi-Stakeholder Body for Net Neutrality" I welcome the opportunity to submit reply comments on the TRAI Consultation Paper on "Traffic Management Practices (TMPs) and Multi-Stakeholder Body for Net Neutrality." I submit these reply comments as a professor of law and, by courtesy, electrical engineering at Stanford University whose research focuses on Internet architecture, innovation and regulation. I have a Ph.D. in computer science and a law degree and have worked on net neutrality for the past twenty years. My book “Internet Architecture and Innovation,” which was published by MIT Press in 2010, is considered the seminal work on the science, economics and politics of network neutrality. My papers on network neutrality have influenced discussions on network neutrality all over the world.1 I have testified on matters of Internet architecture, innovation and regulation before the California Legislature, the US Federal Communications Commission, the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, and BEREC.2 The FCC’s 2010 and 2014 Open Internet Orders relied heavily on my work. My work also informed BEREC’s 2016 net neutrality implementation guidelines as well as the 2017 Orders on zero-rating by the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, and TRAI’s 2016 Order on zero-rating. Finally, I served as technical advisor for California’s net neutrality law, which took effect in January 2020. I have not been retained or paid by anybody to participate in this proceeding.3 My reply comments draw heavily on my existing writings on net neutrality.

  • Khap Panchayats: Changing Perspectives
    AJMR A Publication of TRANS Asian Research Journals Asian Journal of Multidimensional Research Vol.2 Issue 7, July 2013, ISSN 2278-4853 KHAP PANCHAYATS: CHANGING PERSPECTIVES Ms. Sunita*; Mr. Yudhvir** *Doctoral Research Scholar, Department of Public Administration, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, India. **Assistant Professor, C. R. Kisan (PG) College, Jind, India. ABSTRACT Khap is a cluster of villages united by caste and geography. It is as old as 14th century started by upper caste jats to consolidate their power and position. The main rule is that all boys and girls within a khap are considered siblings. Khap panchayat governs the khap formed by same gotra (clan) families from several neighboring villages. Khap panchayats are prevalent in Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh and Parts of Rajasthan. Love marriages are considered taboo in areas governed by Khap panchayats. Those living in a Khap are not allowed to marry in the same gotra or even in any gotra from the same village. Many young couples have been killed in the past defying khap rules. This paper is based upon the role of Khap Panchayats and trying to evaluate the position of khap panchayats that how can they come up in the changing modern society. KEYWORDS: Khap Panchayat, power and position, Society, Caste. ___________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The Khap has been a system of social administration and organization in the northwestern states of India since ancient times. Written references are found as far back as 2500 BCE. During and since that time, there has been shift from nomadic way of life to settled agricultural practices. From this time on, the Indian social fabric was organized around the village unit and the mode of governing was often that of a council of five, which is called a Panchayat.
