A society which claims to be liberal and democratic must reflect its ideals in the constitution and in the social behavior of people. It has to be inclusive. In India we discuss about weaker section of the society -women children sc and st and the policy makers show much concern about these groups. There is another group which needs our attention. They are Transgender. Life of a transgender is full of traumas and oppression. In this paper I aim to discover the constitutional and social status of transgender in India. Does our constitution discriminate transgender? What kind of treatment and thought is given to this group in Our constitution? Is there any special mention of this group? Further this paper makes an effort to explore how our society accommodates Transgender? Are we bias towards them? The present study is undertaken to describe and analyze in India recent constitutional and social status of Hijra or Transgender. It also suggests ways how to improve and develop these marginalized people by bringing new laws and making social reforms and awakening for their right. It adopts descriptive method. The paper concludes that more than constitutional aspect it is approach of the society towards transgender which needs to be amended.
