This one’s even more fascinating than the High Court decision legalizing homosexuality in India.
Yoga guru, Baba Ramdev quoting Spanish psychiatrist Enrique Rojas, contended that homosexuality is a disease that is curable.
“It can be treated like any other congenital defect. Such tendencies can be treated by yoga, pranayam and other meditation techniques,” he said in a petition to the Supreme court.
The high court, in a landmark verdict, legalised gay sex among consenting adults, which was earlier an offence under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. The yoga guru has challenged the July 2 judgment contending that homosexual activities are not only against public morality, public health and healthy environment but also against the interest of the society.
“The decision of the high court, if allowed to sustain, will have catastrophic effects on the moral fabric of society and will jeopardise the institution of marriage itself. This offends the structure of the Indian value system, Indian culture and traditions, as derived from religious scriptures,” it said.
So what next? New episodes of yoga on early morning television, where now at instead of Pepsi and Coke, at the receiving end will be the gays of this world? Or new demonstration CDs from Baba Ramdev exhibiting new asanas to curb the homo within the Homo sapiens?! Jai ho! Gay ho!
