Title : THIRD GENDER PERSONS SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL EQUALITY LEGAL RIGHTS IN INDIA
Dr. Ravi Kumar1, Mr. Atul Yadav2, Ms. Chanchal Khatri3

Abstract :

Transgender people are people of any age, religion, faith, gender, appearance, personal characteristics, or behaviour that deviate from the norm about how men and women 'should' be. Transgender people have existed in all cultures, races, countries and classes since time immemorial. The word "transgender" appeared in the same language in the mid-1990s from the indigenous community of people with different genders. In today's practice, transgender has become a "common and umbrella term" used to describe a broad spectrum of identities and experiences, including but not limited to heterosexual, male and female heterosexuals. The present paper is an attempt to know the historical account of transgender people. How they are continuously discriminated against and how they behave to protect their rights in different processes. Are there prominent threats to their lives? How powerful has Indian law been in changing the perception of different sections of society? The various rights granted to this community are rarely enforced and the welfare measures remain on paper. Although the Constitution of India makes strong promises prohibiting discrimination of all kinds, there is ambiguity about the concept of gender and the implications that prohibition can have on the rights of third genders. With the Supreme Court taking immediate action on the NALSA decision, significant attention has been drawn to the rights of transgender people, which will be explored in the next paper. Highlighting the historical growth of transgender people and analyzing their position in places around the world, this research paper aims to shed light on the dark world of suffering and discrimination that this community has been subjected to in India.
