The discrimination and human rights violations against the sexual minorities are a shocking reality in all societies. In most of the jurisdictions, there is no legislative recognition to their rights, and where it is recognized their problems are not adequately addressed. International human rights documents adopted by the UNO and regional organization ,theoretically recognized their rights, as they are members of the human family. Unfortunately, all these efforts are ineffective with respect to the protection of sexual minorities from wide ranging abuses. For centuries, the Indian Society has learned to tolerate with the existence of sexual minorities as distinct social group, paradoxically their existence and personality are not legally recognized. Reasons are many, ranging from deep rooted societal prejudices to predominately hostile penal laws.
