In ancient India, transgender and third-gender identities were respected and seen as an integral part of society, reflected in epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata. But in modern India, that respect turned into a long struggle for rights.

This shows that India’s criminal law remains far from gender-neutral. On October 8, 2025, the Delhi High Court took note of this gap, issuing a notice to the Central Government and urging the creation of inclusive laws that ensure justice and protection for transgender persons.
