I have always been supportive of the LGT community, and found the Indian Government's attitude repressive and outdated. Living in the US now, I find there is still pockets of right-wing resistance even here, with their holier than thou attitudes. At last the Indian Court ( even if only in Delhi) has realized that its time to repeal an archaic law. Lets hope this is the start of a true social change in India.
