CULTURAL IDENTITY OF INDIA: SOCIO-LEGAL ASPECTS
Keywords:
TRANSGENDER, GLOBALLYAbstract
We all are proud to state that we have a son or daughter or grandchildren. Our legal system provides for equal protection of rights of both gender without any discrimination and it also takes necessary steps to provide special protection and privileges to vulnerable sections of society which includes children and women. But our legal system and we have totally forgotten and intentionally ignored to provide any kind of basic recognition as human beings to major section of society whom we come across every day but still we try to ignore that they are part of the society and they too have right to lead a dignified life. They are called as transgender. A person whose gender identity is inconsistent with the gender ascribed at the time of birth. This section of people have been in the society in every part of the world from many centuries but their number has increased drastically and their sufferings has been brought to light because of the media has highlighted the human rights violations inflicted against them in various parts of the world. They are subjected to various kinds of social and psychological issues which go unnoticed by the society and the law. According to National Census 2011, India‘s population includes approximately five million transgender people. But this is not an accurate statistics as there are all possibilities that all transgender will not disclose their status openly fearing the stigma prevailing in the society.
