Abstract

The Indian constitution guarantees to secure all its citizens; the Liberty of belief, Equality of status, and Fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual. It bestows; social, economic and political Justice. The International Bill of Human Rights consisting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights guarantees all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. This article explores the actuality of fundamental and human rights of Transgenders, made available through various central and state legislations from the eyes and minds, while discussing alongside the ineffable plights of their daily life. The article concludes with its suggestive legal reforms more truly to be implemented to enable Transgenders in India live their life as wished by the framers of our Constitution.

Keywords: Third gender legal rights.
