The marginalisation of transgender individuals in Kashmir is a complex and deeply ingrained problem characterised by various obstacles, including bias, intimidation, and domestic violence. In the Muslim-majority region of Kashmir, the marginalisation experienced by transgender individuals can be attributed to their perceived status as 'other' or a deviation from established social norms, resulting in their exclusion from the dominant societal framework. This paper will explore the socio-cultural and economic marginalisation experienced by the transgender community in Kashmir and critically examine the various policies/acts by the state and central government vis-à-vis transgender people Based on the narratives from members of the transgender community during the fieldwork, the paper also aims to unveil the various forms of discrimination and violence experienced by the members of the transgender community in Kashmir in private and public spaces. Finally, this paper will also shed light on the 'rights' of transgender people within the framework of Islam
