Relatable Human Rights within reach of India's Transgender population: Overcoming Obstacles and Staying the Course

Abstract

Human Rights from the time of its recognition play an important part in any human’s life. To be recognised as a human being is not just guided by being alive, but a string of dignity is attached with it which is granted by the Rights which must be equal for every being. This article is an effort by the researcher to bring to light the difference between Universality and Relativeness of Human Rights with special emphasis on Transgender and how every country uses their own cultural means to create differences within the transgender communities. One reason the universal legal text of human rights is not widely accepted is its perceived justifications. Human Rights were long deemed worldwide since UDHR constituted international law. The researcher also wants to throw light on the fact that Indian Constitution did adopt the UDHR principles through inclusion of Fundamental Rights under Part IV. However, by lsheer reading what it offers to the Transgender community is still unclear. This paper seeks to clarify the relationship between fundamental rights, cultural relativism, and constitutional morality in India with a brief emphasis on other Nations as well considering the most recent Human Rights issues with transgender communities, that were not just ignored but legally unaddressed. The paper also puts forward few suggestions which can be taken in globally for governments and other institutions to follow for better Human Rights implementation.
