INDIA


live, away from the incongruous political system of their home country. After the legislative changes, India’s LGBT community need not


seek refuge elsewhere. Further down the line, India might also be able to provide political asylum to LGBT communities from other nations where gay sex is still considered a crime.


Visa obstacles for same sex couples Corporate giants across the globe are laying out their offices and


manufacturing facilities in India drawn by its lively economy and foreign direct investment (FDI) schemes. Looking ahead, India will soon be a new desirable destination for global mobility specialists with assignees belonging to the LGBT community. In the past, same sex expat couples have had difficulties when


trying to relocate their spouses to India, since same–sex marriages were not recognised, making their spouses ineligible to secure a usual dependant visa. Instead, spouses had to travel on a tourist visa with a shorter validity allowing them to reside for a limited period before exiting the country and applying again to re-enter India – a tedious, expensive and cumbersome process.


The LGBT workforce Silicon Valley employs a large number of LGBT personnel, with


many CEO’s and top executives belonging to this category. And other countries like France, the UK and Germany, who are established business partners with India, have a considerable number of same– sex partners working in corporations. The new transformation in India could allow it to witness a greater section of the global workforce willing to take assignments in India.


It is hoped that with the amendment to Section 377 of the IPC, the regime shall also extend recognition to same–sex married partners. This would allow coterminous multiple entry dependent visas and the same residential rights as married expat couple while working or accompanying as a dependant spouse in India. India has always been known to be a harmonious and diverse


nation and culture. However, it is going to be a huge task to fight the prejudiced attitudes which have been hardwired into many minds for decades. To enable change, the Indian government will have to recognise same sex marriages and educate the younger generations. The Indian government may also have to create affirmative


action plans to help the LGBT community progress economically and socially, encouraging the country and its people to eradicate discrimination with this way of thinking, India can truly become less of an individual democracy and more of a constitutional one.
