Not as Mythical as It Seems: Queer Culture in Hindu Mythology - Glii

Most of us grew up with the belief that queer culture stemmed from Western roots and that it was a “ Hollywood Influence ” on our culture. You’ll be surprised to know that it hasn’t always been the case in our community. Before the invasion and occupation of the East India Company under the rule of Queen Victoria , we were quite queer-friendly people. Well, friends might be stretching it a bit, but we sure were a lot more accepting of it. Don’t believe it? It’s right there in the scriptures! And the paintings, the sculptures, the folklore… Do we need to say more? Hindu mythology was a lot more woke than we gave it credit for. Sure, there were the Pandavas who were all brothers and all married to Draupadi (weird polyamorous flex, but okay), but there are multiple instances of queer acceptance strewn across the Hindu mythology and regional folk tales that were a part of our culture way before Hollywood was even a concept in someone’s mind. Or cinema, as a matter of fact.
