India was historically a Country with diverse cultural acceptance. Through generations of Regression rule and Colonisation, individual identity and rights were diminished enough to be non-existing. Some communities had to fight the freedom struggle even after being conferred with communal rights. Rather recently, judicial proclamations were made for reparations to the LGBTQA+ Community in India in an attempt to undo the centuries of communal hatred and oppression and subsequently, a legislative backing to ensure this protection against exploitation and to preach acceptance of the right to self-identification of gender as an integral virtue of dignified living.The guiding law that was brought into force suffered from lack of expertise and ambiguity of procedure. Some parts of the legislation directly refuted the object of the ratio stated in the NALSA judgement and even after expert reports and the response of the target community reflecting criticism of flawed approach and unconstitutional vice, the Legislation was made enforceable. This article is a humble attempt at framing a structured outline of discrepancies in the Law to play a marginal role in a long drawn struggle. As Justice Chandrachud said, �It is difficult to right a wrong by history. But we can set the course for the future�, deeming acceptance of identity to be protection against discrimination is only a half hearted attempt at inclusiveness.
