Full title: "Transgender in India: Achievers and Survivors" by IAS Dr C K Gariyali and Priyadarshini Rajkumar.
"The book, "Transgender — Achievers and Survivors" is authors’ tribute to the transgender community who have suffered immense indignities and discrimination in India starting from the decline of Mughal Empire when the British Raj imposed the 16th century anti-buggery law upon them.
They were criminalized and prevented from following their traditional profession, wearing female attire or performing in public and reduced to penury and ignominy. This situation continued in free India till 2014, when the Supreme Court passed its momentous judgement.
