I think that's all because of the lack of information, misinformation about homosexuality. Like Rits said, homosexuality is very much found in in pre-victorian Indian works of art and literature. (Also in other parts of Asia as well.) But Indian became more Victorian than the British themselves, Though it might go back even further with the Mughals. But even then, it shouldn't have extended past Hindustan. So I think British colonialism had a lot to do with it as well.

By they way, I said Malayalam, which is an Indian language, and guessed that there probably is a sanskrit based word in Hindi as well.

The stuff about Taiwan and Korea was just to point out that "gay" is usually very much understood and easier to use in many areas affected by globalization.

I didn't say anything about Malaysian. 😆
