I remember finding myself sixth grade choir as well as we did some sort of disney medley of songs plus it was the most fun I’d in choir. Arabian Evenings, Always be Our Guest, Make out the Girl, Beneath the Sea will be the ones that go to memory from this. They need to bring some with the movies out of their damn Disney vault.

Hi, I have just been reading Dr. Vanitha’s books, and found this interview very informative.

Can you tell me how to reach Dr. Vanitha? What her university affiliation is, if any, for example? I wanted to discuss her books more in depth with her.

Thanks for your help.

I am not sure if there is anything in the Indian Constitution against homosexuality. Therefore, it is pointless to drag Dr. Ambedkar into this debate. To call him homophobic is to cast an aspersion.

The only law which criminalizes homosexuality is Sec 377 of the IPC something which was framed in the British times. And even those who have wanted it struck down, want it to go “in the name of humanity and our Constitution”
