Reply to comment by SsiSsiSsiSsi in Gay couples in India ask Supreme Court to legalise same-sex marriage by Cockahoop_Pirate

I agree with you, honestly. I don’t foresee much future for non-Hindu/Buddhist Indian minorities in the nation of India.

Even the youth are happy with the BJP, at least as of 2019 pre-COVID.

I could have sworn I’ve read something a couple years ago pre-COVID about a lot of Indian Muslims uprooting themselves and seeking asylum in Bangladesh and Pakistan. Regretfully, I don’t have the link to that article… nor do I remember what it was titled.

It’s even more depressing to see so many Indians collectively say “good riddances” to these fellow countrymen in their faces.

It’s like one step forward and two steps back with humanity. Perhaps some of us here in the West were raised with a worldview that is a bit too idealistic.

EDIT: I’m dead wrong! My apologies everyone!

How is Indian Muslims even relevant to the current discussion of same-sex marriages? By the way, marriages of Indian Muslims are governed by Muslim Personal Laws, which prohibit homosexuality. So even if India legalises same sex marriages, they won't be able to do so for Muslims.

I would love a source on that? Minorities have the highest birth rate in india compared to the majority Hindu population. Muslims have their own law separate from Common Law (whether it is homo sexuality, transgender rights etc.). Not sure where you are from or how much knowledge you have about india, what you said is definitely not true.

He can't because he knows he'll be the laughing stock if he says " So and so Islamic scholar said so."
