Abstract
Third gender – this is one of the most pertinent topics discussed today. The third gender includes a few different groups in South Asia; the most common are the Hijras. Hijras are often born male but look and dress in traditionally feminine ways. By 2014, India officially recognized third gender people with equal rights, “it is the right of every human being to choose their gender,” – initiated by Supreme Court. But the reality is different. They are deprived socially, economically as well as physically and are psychologically abused. Their livelihood especially during journey in local trains highlighting the problems faced by them is narrated here.
