Indian Penal Code (IPC):

• The Indian Penal Code (IPC) is the official criminal code of India. It is a comprehensive code intended to cover all substantive aspects of criminal law.
• The code was drafted in 1860 on the recommendations of first law commission of India established in 1834 under the Charter Act of 1833 under the Chairmanship of Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay.
• The IPC replaced Mohammedan Criminal Law, which had a very close relationship with Islam.
• It was the first codification of criminal law in the British Empire.
• IPC is also the longest serving criminal code in the world.
• Even though the IPC has been amended more than 75 times, India did not undertake any comprehensive revision based on the recommendations made in the 42nd Law Commission Report in 1971.
• Most amendments have been ad hoc, in response to immediate circumstances in IPC.
• In 2016, the Home Ministry had proposed insertion of two stricter anti-racial discrimination provisions in the IPC. The two amendments were: Section 153A and Section 509A that deal with racially motivated crimes.

First you hav to break down the whole question...


The Indian penal code was created under the Charter Act 1833.
The Charter Act 1833 was compiled for the East India Company.
The goverment of India Act 1915 revoked many Acts (removing the rubbish)

1947 India partition, Congress rule (Gandhi, Nehruian dynasty)

The Indian Independence Act was passed in 1947. The act created two new independent dominions; India and Pakistan. The Act repealed the use of 'Emperor of India' as a title for the British Crown and ended all existing treaties with the princely states.

A princely state, also called native state, feudatory state or Indian state was a vassal state under a local or indigenous or regional ruler in a

Many Hindu kingdoms were run by princely states. Where incest was forbidden.

565 princely states
At the time of the British withdrawal, 565 princely states were officially recognised in the Indian subcontinent, apart from thousands of zamindari estates and jagirs. In 1947, princely states covered 40% of the area of pre-independence India and constituted 23% of its population.

A princely state, also called native state (legally, under the British) or Indian state (for those states on the subcontinent), was a nominally sovereign monarchy under a local or regional ruler in a subsidiary alliance with a greater power. Though the history of the princely states of the subcontinent dates from at least the classical period of Indian history, the predominant usage of the term princely state specifically refers to a semi-sovereign principality on the Indian subcontinent during the British Raj that was not directly governed by the British, but rather by a local ruler under a form of indirect rule.

Before the Partition of India in 1947, multiple Rajput and non-Rajput Princely States existed in India which were not part of British India. These were the parts of the Indian subcontinent which had not been conquered or annexed by the British but were subject to subsidiary alliances.

In principle, the princely states had internal autonomy, while by treaty the British Crown had suzerainty and was responsible for the states' external affairs. In practice, while the states were indeed ruled by potentates with a variety of titles, such as Chhatrapati, Maharaja, Raja, Raje, Deshmukh, Nawab, Baig, Khan, Nizam,Mirza or specially Jam for Jadeja/Samma.

Some retard will come along and say: "Well, India doesnt disallow or allow incest so it's is pefectly ok"

Homosexuality was also frowned upon for many years..No strict guidelines for that either, till BJP under Modi rule, allowed same sex marriages (6 Sep 2018 - )

Does that mean a brother and sister should indulge in sex? Course not!

There is no Vedic scripture which sanctions incest either infact it is forbidden.
