Abstract

This paper focuses on the attempt made by the movie Aligarh to question our morals and the situation of homosexuals in India. Homosexuality is constitutionally illegal whereas the same constitution offers Right to Life and Personal Liberty. This movie was released six years after the death of Dr. Srinivas Ramchandra Siras who was suspended from Aligarh University because of his sexual preference. A crew from a local channel had filmed the professor having sex with a rickshaw puller and aired it resulting in his suspension. The society questioned the professor’s sexual preference but nobody raised a finger at the illegal intrusion into his privacy.
