The March lends visibility to the voices and struggles of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, and is a commemoration of the Stonewall Riots of June 1969 in New York, USA, that ignited the fight for civil rights by and for LGBT people the world over. In India, the pride marches first began in Kolkata ten years ago, and in recent years have been conducted in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. This year, pride marches will be held for the first time in Chennai and Bhubaneswar. These marches are the combined effort of individuals from the LGBT communities, straight allies, and organizations supportive of the cause. A remarkable feature is that they will include families, friends of the LGBT community, and anyone who believes in human rights. The theme of Chennai’s Rainbow Pride march draws on the immortal words of Tamil Poet Bharathiar , வண்ணங்கள வேற்றுமைப்பட்டால், அதில் மானுடர் வேற்றுமையில்லை: Hues may vary but humanity does not! The march will focus on the essential humanity of all, despite differences in sexuality and gender identity.

Religions Religion has been an important part of India’s culture throughout its history. Religious diversity and religious tolerance are both established in the country by law and custom. A vast majority of Indians (over 93%) associate themselves with a religion. Four of the world's major religious traditions; Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism are originated at India. These religions are also called as ‘Eastern Religions’. 1. Hinduism The word Hindu is derived from the Sanskrit name Sindhu for the Indus River. With around 1 billion followers, Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world after Christianity and Islam. Hinduism is considered as the oldest religion of the World originating around 5000 years ago. It is the predominant spiritual following of the Indian subcontinent, and one of its indigenous faiths. Hinduism is a conglomeration of distinct intellectual or philosophical points of view, rather than a rigid common set of beliefs. Hinduism was spread through parts of South-eastern Asia, China, Korea, and Japan. Hindus worship a god with different forms. Evolution The origin of Hinduism dates back to prehistoric times. Some of the important evidences of prehistoric times: • Mesolithic rock paintings depicting dances and rituals gives evidence attesting to prehistoric religion in the Indian "subcontinent". • Neolithic pastoralists inhabiting the Indus River Valley buried their dead in a manner suggestive of spiritual practices that incorporated notions of an afterlife and belief in magic. • Other Stone Age sites, such as the Bhimbetka rock shelters in central Madhya Pradesh and the Kupgal petroglyphs of eastern Karnataka, contain rock art portraying religious rites and evidence of possible ritualised music.
