The new government has not inspired much hope in me. The less said about Sadhavi Niranjan Jyoti and the VHP and the RSS the better. The HRD minister has been taking decisions which at best can be said to be arbitrary. In this gloom the only good news came in today when the Government decided to delete the section 309 of the Indian Penal Code. With this suicide is no longer a criminal offense. It never made any sense to me that a person who has been driven to commit suicide is clapped up with a criminal charge instead of provided psychiatric help to deal with their desperation and depression.
Now if the Government would only see sense and decriminalize homosexuality.
