History Of Homosexuality in India TheArthasastra, an ancient Indian treatise on statecraft, mentions a wide variety of non- vaginal sexual practices which, whether performed with a man or a woman, were sought to be punished with the lowest grade of fine. While homosexual intercourse was not sanctioned, it was treated as a very minor offence, and several kinds of heterosexual intercourse were punished more The classic Indian textKama Sutradeals without ambiguity or hypocrisy with all aspects of sexual lifeincluding marriage, adultery, prostitution, group sex, sadomasochism, male and female homosexuality, and transvestism. And once in a while, hidden in niches as in Khajuraho, one does find images of eitherwomen erotically embracing otherwomen ormen displaying theirgenitals to each other, the formerbeing more common (suggesting a tilt in favourof the male voyeur). Interpretations and judgements aside, these images tell us that the idea of same-sex and what the colonial rulers termed unnatural intercourse did exist in India. One can only speculate if the images represent the common orthe exception.
