Trans People in India: A Decade After NALSA

Trans People in India: A Decade After NALSA is a 2026 academic monograph by Indian academic and scholar Preeti Choudhary, published by Routledge. The book examines legal, social, and policy developments affecting transgender communities in India in the decade following the Supreme Court of India’s 2014 judgment in National Legal Services Authority v. Union of India. The book outlines phases of transgender activism in India, spanning grassroots mobilisation, legal advocacy, and policy critique following the 2014 ‘‘NALSA’’ judgment. The book also engages with literary and historical dimensions of transgender existence in India by incorporating cosmogenic and scriptural narratives in its early chapters. In doing so, it situates transgender identities within broader Indian knowledge traditions and historical cultural frameworks.
