Problems Faced by Transgender Community in India

Abstract

The Spirit Of The Indian Constitution Is To Provide Equal Opportunity To Every Citizen To Grow And Attain Their Potential, Irrespective Of Caste, Religion Or Gender. Everyone Has A Gender Identity, Today In India There Are Three Genders; Male, Female And Transgender. World Talks About Our ‘Unity In Diversity’ Concept, But The Ugliest Side Of Our Society Is Not Accepting All The Genders Equally. Even Though Legally Every Gender Is Treated In A Respectful Manner, When It Comes To Transgender There Is Still A Taboo In Our Society. Unfortunately, We Are In A Society Where Gender Plays A Major Role In Judging People. Although The ‘Third Gender’ Name Is Given To The Transgenders They Don’t Get To Live With Peace And Harmony.  Despite All Constitutional Guarantees, The Third Gender Is Even Denied To Have Their Basic Rights Like Right To Dignity, Personal Liberty, Education, Freedom Of Expression Etc.  In This   Paper The Study Focuses On The Continuous Denying Equality And The Continuous Social Distinction And Apathy Towards Hijras, Who, Because Of Their Paradoxical Sex Identity, Are Marginalized. These Individuals Are Generally Denied Their Family And Other Social Groups And Experience Various Types Of Social Exclusion. They Are Most Frequently Compelled Into Types Of Ritualized Begging, Forced Into Prostitution Because They Are Refused Adequate Schooling, Health Care And Job Opportunities. This Paper Throws Light On The Present Condition Of Transgender In Terms Of Its Educational Deprivational .  It Also Covers How The Presence Of Transgender Is Excluded From The Society And What The Regulation And Order Is Doing To Convert That Social Exclusion Into Social Inclusion.
