Even as USA celebrates the legalization of gay
marriage across all its fifty states, things are not so good back here at home.
In India, homosexuality is still against the law, and gay marriage, stuff of
dreams. In this type of environment, the photo going viral on social media of
two men, carrying the flags of India and Pakistan, kissing each other comes
across as a fresh breath of air.
The
relationship between the two countries has been fraught with tension at best
and hostile at worst. Even so, sagas of love between the citizens of the two
nations have been sung for a long time. However, it is the first time that the
population has applauded the love between two men of India and Pakistan
depicted with a passionate kiss.
Maybe
India is heading towards a more liberal attitude after all?
