a simple and ordinary person
1. There is only one gender of religion.
As we all know, India is a multi-religious country. According to the number of believers of each religion and the proportion of the national population, Hinduism accounts for 79.8%, Islam accounts for 14.2%, Christianity accounts for 2.3%, and tin Religion accounted for 1.7%, Buddhism accounted for 0.7%, other religions accounted for 1.1%, and non-religious people accounted for 0.2%.
Hinduism and Islam are the two most influential religions in India. Although Hinduism is tolerant of its teachings, according to polls, more than half of Hindus are still opposed to homosexuality. Muslim opposition to homosexuality is particularly fierce.
Under such a religious background, it is basically impossible for homosexuals to live comfortably in India. The extremely harsh living environment is destined to lead homosexuals to live a dark life in humiliation and contempt.
The terrible thing about religion is that it cannot be explained by scientific theories. Religious believers have grown up in religious families since childhood, and are influenced by religious teachings.
In the eyes of many believers of certain religions, homosexuality is simply blasphemous, insulting doctrine, trampling on the holy scriptures, and should all be burned or crucified.
Most religions have only one gender, and that is the opposite sex.
The media's help is in vain
2. The tug-of-war between religious and secular powers.
Any behavior that goes against human nature will always have voices of opposition. Perhaps such voices were very small at the beginning, but only existed in people’s whispers and secret messages, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, There will definitely be a wave of resistance sweeping across the times, and more and more people will gather because of the same beliefs, fighting for ideals and fighting for equality.
In the film, those who organized protest marches in support of the professors, and the lawyers who provided free legal assistance to the professors, were unafraid in front of the police who maintained the law and order, and quarreled in the court to accuse injustice. This is a strong confrontation between secular forces and religious forces. Only in court, and only by using the Constitution as a weapon, can it be possible to compete with religious teachings, to release the brilliance of human nature, and to let the light of equality and freedom be released. It really shines on every minority group.
3. Where there is light, there are shadows
. The two so-called "reporters" who forcibly rushed into the professor's house were nothing but hooligans hired by the professor's four colleagues as gunmen. The real sinister intentions are the four colleagues of the professor. They exposed the video of the professor and the rickshaw driver Xiao Young on the Internet, and then slandered the professor in a long-planned media interview, not only because of the professor's homosexual identity, but also because of his homosexuality. Coveted the position of professor of language department head!
Homosexuality is just an excuse for them to bring down the professor. Their real purpose has always been promotion in the workplace.
For one position, it is possible to sacrifice the reputation of others' life and destroy the career that others have painstakingly managed for a lifetime. How sinister.
In stark contrast, it was the shock in the professor's heart when he recalled the whole case, and even the inner struggle and confusion on his face when he identified the four professors in court. He was shocked by the complexity of the human heart, and was distressed by the framing of his peers for many years. At the age of 64, he was finally taught a lesson by those four colleagues in this way.
Where there is light, there is shadow
Fourth, the establishment and abolition of the law, what is the spirit of the contract
On July 2, 2009, the New Delhi High Court of India ruled that Article 377 of the Criminal Code was unconstitutional, and homosexuality was exonerated. Once the judgment of the High Court comes down, it is the highest interpretation of the Constitution and represents the highest authority of the Constitution! This precedent will have crucial guiding significance for all similar cases in the future.
Article 377 of the Indian Penal Code was established in 1860 and stipulates that "any sexual act contrary to the laws of nature" is punishable by a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of life imprisonment.
It is precisely in this way that the professor's case has won the final victory based on this precedent.
The results of it?
On December 12, 2013, the Indian High Court ruled that Article 377 of the Criminal Code was upheld, and homosexuality was re-imposed. This is a stark reversal of history.
Supreme Court Justice Xin Wei announced the verdict, and this is the last case he has heard, the case is over, and he is about to retire. It is believed that the verdict of this case will be a stain on his eternal life, and this important moment in the history of homosexuality in India will be marked with eternal humiliation for the rest of his life.
After the decision of the New Delhi High Court was handed down, the Supreme Court of India accepted a total of 22 appeals against the relevant judgments, most of which were filed by religious groups. When the highest authority in the secular world: the law, has received interference from the religious world, and such a powerful force is behind pressure and public opinion is building momentum.
This is a head-on collision between religious teachings and the basic human nature of the secular society. Sadly, the spirit of the contract is so fragile that it only took four years for the anti-communist forces to forcibly counterattack, destroying the efforts of the equal rights activists. This heart-wrenching historical regression has made people see the incompatibility between human nature and the conservative forces of religious teachings.
helpless, confused
5. Stand up and stop turning a blind eye
to what the professor wants?
In a simple life, a person with a pure nature does not have too many ambitions and expectations. He is satisfied with an ordinary life, otherwise he will not like a rickshaw driver. His indifference to the world has actually become his fatal wound.
In the courtroom, he was dozing off, and while the lawyers were arguing, he was translating poetry collections, as if what was happening in the courtroom had nothing to do with him.
He was just a flag that was forced to the forefront, and was used by affirmative action organizations as a sharp blade against the secular world.
Many times, people are caught up in the trend, go with the flow, and cannot help themselves. It does need some detached and indifferent attitude to dilute the anger that is too thick.
The professor is pitiful, in fact, there is still a trace of sadness. His passiveness, negativity, and even resistance all give people the illusion of being angry and indisputable. It is those who are willing to stand up to promote social development. If we don't even speak up for ourselves, who will stand up and fight for the interests of others?
At the reception at the end of the court trial, the professor saw those who supported him, those gay couples who bravely lived under the bright sky, they were just as enthusiastic and unrestrained, they were sincere in being themselves, and released their nature: those who pursue love and be loved. nature. His heart was actually trembling, otherwise he wouldn't drink cup after cup and almost get drunk by the blurred light.
The final ending of the professor is heartrending. The road to equal rights is long and tortuous. If you don't give up, there will always be hope!
We're not wrong, we're just different from most people, that's all.
In order to keep this difference, it cost me my life.
