MBBS curriculum that labelled 'lesbianism as sexual offence' withdrawn amid uproar
short by Arshiya Chopra / on Thursday, 5 September, 2024
The National Medical Commission has said that it has withdrawn and cancelled the latest curriculum for students pursuing MBBS amid uproar over re-introduction of alleged regressive language. The revised forensic medicine curriculum brought back "sodomy and lesbianism" under the category of unnatural sexual offences. It also re-introduced topics like importance of hymen and definition of virginity.
