This research aims to investigate the trajectories of discrimination these communities face in the employment sector. While doing so, the authors have emphasized that despite a clear mandate of ‘Right to Work’ in the Constitution of India, policymakers, governments, and the Indian judiciary too has been keen only on laying down framework only concerning ‘Rights at work.’ In this sense, the authors opine that India presently lacks a clear employment non-discrimination framework. Even almost all the labor laws of India stipulate rights and duties post-recruitment scenario. There is an apparent lack of pre-recruitment guidelines. In this light, the authors see the Supreme Court’s recent judgment in the NALSA case recognizing the Transgenders as ‘third gender’ and the efforts of the Indian Parliament to frame a law on the protection of the rights of the transgender people as a silver lining in the cloud. This paper highlights the underpinnings of this development by still emphasizing that something needs to be done more on the front. Keywords: Transgenders; Employment; India.
