Since 2001 activists have attempted to rewrite Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which in addition to outlawing homosexual behavior is often used to prosecute a range of activities and groups that are considered perverse. Having interviewed activists and NGO workers throughout five metropolitan centers, investigated crime statistics and case law, visited various state institutions, and met with the police, Puri found that Section 377 is but one element of how homosexuality is regulated in India. This statute works alongside the large and complex system of laws, practices, policies, and discourses intended to mitigate sexuality's threat to the social order while upholding the state as inevitable, legitimate, and indispensable. By highlighting the various means through which the regulation of sexuality constitutes India's heterogeneous and fragmented "sexual state," Puri provides a conceptual framework to understand the links between sexuality and the state more broadly. 410 $aNext Wave: New Directions in Women's Studies 606 $aPolitical Science / History & Theory$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical science 615 7$aPolitical Science / History & Theory 615 0$aPolitical science. 700 $aPuri$b Jyoti$0883908 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831877503321 996 $aSexual states$92055182 997 $aUNINA
