Right Wing Demonisation Quotes

“The BJP, in its affidavit before the Supreme Court said:


In the event this honourable Court is pleased to declare


Section 377 viz. ‘consensual acts of adults in private’, to be


unconstitutional, no other issue/issues and/or rights are


referred for consideration and adjudication and therefore,


may not be gone into. 54


All these facts surrounding the repeal of Section 377 of the


Indian Penal Code, of course, did not prevent the popular show


Made In Heaven from painting Right-wing forces as the villains who


were against homosexuality and LGBTQ rights. 55


It should be remembered that the RSS or its allied organisations


do not wield any theology-based influence on what Hindus should


think about homosexuality or other issues, whereas the Christian


and Muslim organisations that supported keeping Section 377 and


opposed the Court’s decision have substantial sway over what their


adherents should see as right or wrong. This is a structural


difference between the decentralised, polytheistic Hindu way and the


Abrahamic, monotheistic faiths.”
