Even if the act of pederasty is considered as a heinous crime, if we look into the ancient South Asian history, we will find evidences where pederasty has been widely a common practice. The folk-tales, literature, music, and other cultural evidences of ancient South Asia provide us numerous references of institutionalized pederasty. This research will investigate on the causes and effects of pederasty of ancient South Asia and will probe into the matter how this necessitated the minors to learn about sexuality.
