The Ethical Hacker, Ankit Fadia

This young man is amazing. Helps governments catch terrorists. Even runs courses on hacking. Can't help wondering if terrorists might also join his courses. No one would be any the wiser. Here's the link: http://www.ankitfadia.in/ankit_fadia_videos.html

SECTION 377 REPEALED

Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code was an archaic Victorian law, introduced in India in 1861. It stated, rather vaguely, that, 'unnatural sex' was punishable by law.

First overturned in 2009 by the Delhi HC, it was re-instated by the SC in 2013. Section 377 was back with a vengeance, especially since all religious leaders came together to support the SC ruling.

In 2017, Justice Chandrachud stated that the right to privacy is a fundamental right for all, whatever their sexual orientation. Section 377 was still not repealed but the strong arm of the law couldn’t invade someone’s bedroom, as they had started doing.

Finally, on 6^thSeptember, 2018, the law was repealed. The bench termed the 'tyranny' of section 377, "irrational, indefensible and manifestly arbitrary.”

The LGBTQ community of India and its supporters erupted with joy. "Yayee!!" said one, adding a thank-you to, and a quote from, the bench.

“Majoritarian views and popular morality cannot dictate constitutional rights. We have to vanquish prejudice, embrace inclusion and ensure equal rights.”
