Abstract:
In India the culture is very complex and has many dimensions to it. There so many castes and sub-castes
that it is difficult to address gender issues. And if talk about LGBTQIAit is very complex issue. There is
social stigma for this issue.This is the scenario from ancient times to the modern times. However the
situation and media representation have been improving in recent years, especially in terms of
representation of transgender people. LGBTQI stands for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer
Intersex Asexual. A lot has been said and misunderstood about this issue. This is topic has been
considered a taboo for a long time. Though this has existed in India for a long time now it been given
due respect and can be openly discussed. This is a revolution in itself. The older generation is still
conservative about the issue. But surprisingly the younger generation is open and does not consider this
issue as a taboo. In the entire Hindu and Vedic texts there are many descriptions of saints, demigods,
and even the Supreme Lord transcending gender norms and manifesting multiple combinations of sex
and gender. It is important to understand the mindset of the society as it keeps changing its approach
towards the LGBTQIA. Though the roots of culture remain the same the way of looking at it and
actually following it has changed. Therefore it is important to study this issue
