About this Book

The comprehensive compendium The Third Gender: Stain and Pain is packed with

prodigious research papers, articles and case studies of well-versed academicians from all

over India. The anthology addresses the myriad facets of a transgender’s life. Their problems

of social identity, inequality, marginalisation, social exclusion, health care issues,

documentation, education, unemployment, and poverty have been discoursed from social,

political, economic, cultural and jurisprudential along with scientific angles. The book

incorporates not only the troubles and deplorable plights but also intimates some resolutions

that can mitigate the embarrassing abasements of the Third Gender.
