India is a vast country depicting wide social, cultural and sexual variations. Indian concept of sexuality has evolved over time and has been immensely influenced by various rulers and religions. Indian sexuality is manifested in our attire, behavior, recreation, literature, sculptures, scriptures, religion and sports. It has influenced the way we perceive our health, disease and device remedies for the same. In modern era, with rapid globalization the unique Indian sexuality is getting diffused. The time has come to rediscover ourselves in terms of sexuality to attain individual freedom and to reinvest our energy to social issues related to sexuality.
印度是一个幅员辽阔的国家,展现出广泛的社会、文化和性别的多样性。印度的性观念随着时间的推移而演变,并受到各种统治者和宗教的巨大影响。印度的性观念体现在我们的服饰、行为、娱乐、文学、雕塑、经文、宗教和运动中。它影响了我们看待健康、疾病和治疗方法的方式。在现代,随着全球化的迅速发展,独特的印度性观念正在扩散。现在是时候重新发现自己的性观念,以获得个人自由,并重新投入精力解决与性有关的社会问题了。
