Ray, You cannot compare Gandhiji's Civil Disobedience Movement (a part of which was producing salt illegally) with the present scenarion, because the Chinese do not plan (since that would be stupidity) to openly admit to their Government that they are breaking this law. Under the Civil Disobedience Movement, Gandhiji and his followers openly broke the law, after announcing to the British that they would be doing so . It was not done in a secretive way, which is the manner in which the Chinese would evade the firewall. Again, if two homosexuals in India defied the Indian Penal Code, they would not be treated as if they were fighting for a just cause (or following Gandhian principles)-infact they would be jailed. This is because Indian society is still against the concept of gays.So does that mean that the U.N can intervene? No. Because mass public opinion is against homosexuals-although this opinion may not be all that justified. So again, you cannot compare this issue with the one in China (where, I'm assuming most oppose the firewall)since the majority of Indians do support this law-even though the gays may term it a violation of their human rights.
