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. The book, while talking about their suffering, also applauds their resilience and their efforts in breaking the barriers and attempting to achieve equality. The book showcases the stories of great transgender achievers of our country. It documents important judgements, initiatives of Governments, NGOs and corporate sector. It also applauds the initiative of Equitas Bank in providing the inclusive credit to transgender. It urges the parents not to abandon their children with different sexual orientation. The book motivates the trans community to keep up their fight and emerge ultimately as victors.
