Abstract	This article explores the historical and contemporary recognition of transgender identities in India, emphasizing the deep-rooted acknowledgment of non-binary genders in ancient Indian scriptures and the modern legal frameworks aimed at protecting transgender rights. The study draws from various secondary sources to analyze the evolution of transgender recognition from the Vedic concept of 'Tritiya Prakriti' to the landmark 2014 NALSA judgment and the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019. Despite legal advancements, significant challenges persist, including societal stigma and limited access to essential services. The article argues for a holistic approach that integrates ancient cultural inclusivity with modern human rights principles to foster a supportive environment for transgender individuals. The methodology includes both qualitative and quantitative analysis of published and unpublished literature, legal documents, and educational reforms.
