Abstract:
This research examines the intricate relationship between nationalism, gender, and sexuality in the Indian context. It explores how traditional values and heteronormative norms perpetuated by nationalist ideologies influence societal attitudes toward the LGBTQ+ community. By analyzing historical developments, socio-political movements, and the interplay between cultural conservatism and modernity, this paper highlights the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals and the implications of inclusive nationalism for fostering equality. The study underscores the importance of dismantling discriminatory practices to achieve a progressive and just society.
