There are two major `fears’ of the Indian mainstream upper caste psyche
which rules this country: One is Islamophobia and the other is homophobia.
To deal with these two phobias, they have introduced two draconian laws: 1.
Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA)  imprisoning thousands of
innocent Muslims for years without trial and 2. Section 377 of IPC
criminalizing love between  same sex. These two phobias have shaped
ordinary mainstream persons into distorted personalities. The challenge
before the activists who work on issues related to marginalized identities
today is to empathise and support the issues of other marginalized
identities.
