A petition has been filed in the Rajasthan High Court challenging the classification of transgender persons as OBCs for horizontal reservation in public services. The plea argues that such classification undermines the unique identity and challenges faced by transgender individuals. Activists and legal experts have raised concerns about the broader implications of this policy on social justice and inclusivity.
The court’s decision on this matter is eagerly awaited, as it could set a precedent for addressing transgender rights in the context of reservation policies. Advocates have urged policymakers to adopt a more inclusive framework that recognizes the distinct needs of the transgender community.
