Homosexuality in the Jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of India

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the Indian Supreme Court's evolving jurisprudence on homosexuality, the book examines landmark judgments and their implications for equality, family, marriage, and human rights. It contrasts the experiences of the Indian LGBTI community with international standards, using insights from the European Court of Human Rights. Additionally, it explores gay masculinity's role in challenging patriarchy and hegemonic masculinity, addressing the lack of literature on the subject while presenting contemporary gay lifestyles and issues faced by gay men in India through a social anthropological lens.
