Transgender community in India is an important part of society. Even, law can’t deny their existence. We live in 21st century where human rights are assured and preserved for human beings except the third gender i.e.., Transgender. Despite all constitutional guarantees, the Transgender are even denied having their basic rights like Right to Dignity, Personal Liberty, Education, Freedom of expression etc. They are rejected in all walks of life. They have always been treated with hate and disrespect. They are discriminated everywhere right from their family in all aspects of society. The Rights of Transgender Persons Bill, 2014 is a proposed Act of the Parliament of India which seeks to end the discrimination faced by transgender people in India. The Bill was passed by the upper house Rajya Sabha on 24 April 2015. It was introduced in the lower house Lok Sabha on 26 February 2016 and still now it has not been passed. As of now there is no law relating to that of the transgenders. For instance, even though the constitution guarantees article 14 - “The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India.” But this is not provided to that of the transgender community even now they are not being admitted in collages, not given employment opportunities and no reservation is being provided for them. Of course, some have been employed but it is very few instances. There are large number of them who have been denied. Even where there are specific laws to protect animals why there is no law to protect other human beings. The present research paper deals with the problems, Transgender face in a developing country like India. The study also covers how the presence of Transgender is excluded from the society and what the law and order is doing to convert that social exclusion into social inclusion.
