Scope of the article

Hi,
The article is about "history of sexuality in india". Yet it discusses about current issues ranging from popular culture/movies, pornography and what not. I think the previous editors added this content to make the article "non stub".

Now, it is time to define what is the scope of this article, and so what should be kept, and deleted.

@Ms Sarah Welch and Rollingcontributor: requesting your suggestions. —usernamekiran[talk] 22:02, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This reads like an opinion piece

The entire opening section makes very strong claims while offering no supporting facts, logic, or meaningful citations. Starzajo (talk) 21:50, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's worth looking over WP:CITELEAD if you haven't already. MPS1992 (talk) 22:09, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Addition to current issues section

Hi,

I have chosen this article for a research assignment in a Wiki education class. I am currently compiling research to add a section titled "Sexual Health" to the current issues section, as I noticed a lot of sources focusing on this topic during my general research. I believe the topic will add valuable information to the page, diving into both the sexual health of men and women, as well as the social factors that influence it.
