With the kind of appeasement politics in our country , i highly doubt it
It's a gamble but i safe one i think. Next elections are a long way off
Don't feel this court ruling was made without consideration of the consequences.
If push comes to shove, it will end up in the Supreme court then we'll see how the cookie crumbles.

what you all fail to realize is that this is INDIA and not a western country.
That makes it all the more important for us to consider then how the west has ruled on this important issue. Or do we not have dreams of being a superpower one day.Democracy is also a western idea, did not stop our founding fathers from adopting it What we need to appreciate is that in the end these are all just ideas. They don't come a nationality attached.

* Sep 26, 2008: Centre says that gay sex is immmoral and a reflection of a perverse mind and its decriminalisation would lead to moral degradation of society.
* Oct 15, 2008: The High Court pulls up the Centre for relying on religious texts to justify ban on gay sex and asks it to come up with scientific reports to justify it.
Excellent, the debate has already moved past religon and into reason.
* Sep 25, 2008: The gay rights activists contend that the government cannot infringe upon their fundamental right to equality by decriminalising homosexual acts on the ground of morality.
This is looking to be pretty water tight
