Abstract
Homosexuality is viewed as a sin in Hindu mythology, where it is considered to be karma. We are karma-based beings, and our current deeds affect how we will be judged in the future. Thus, homosexuality is considered to be a result of karma. The history of homosexuality in India dates back to the thirteenth century. The homo-erotic sculptures that still exist in temples throughout India serve as historical proof of the country's presence and tolerance of homosexuals. Ancient epics, religious texts, mediaeval prose, poetry, art, and architecture are all signs and sources that suggest that homosexual activities in various forms did exist in ancient India. The Kama Sutra also devotes an entire chapter to discussing homosexual sex. At that time, homosexuality was less viewed as a sin and more as a component of religion and spirituality. The topic of homosexuality has been debated from antiquity to the current period and gay activity is ingrained in Indian society. This path to liberation has been difficult for the LGBTQ group because of obstacles. The paper looks at the impact on the Indian Society after decriminalization of section 377.
