Historical Evolution and Legal Battel for LGBT Community

The journey of LGBT rights in India has been profoundly influenced by colonial history, traditional cultural norms, legal developments, and changing societal perspectives. Analyzing this trajectory sheds light on the challenges faced by the LGBT community and the strides made toward equality. The fight for LGBT rights represents a significant facet of the broader human rights movement. Although remarkable progress has been achieved in recent years, many LGBT individuals continue to encounter systemic discrimination, social exclusion, and violence. This study delves into the historical evolution, current situation, and prospects of LGBT rights on a global scale. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research includes an extensive literature review, case studies, and insights from LGBT individuals, activists, and policymakers. The major challenges such as legal disparities, deep-rooted social stigma, limited access to essential resources, and resistance to progressive policies are explored. The study aims to address these critical areas and propose actionable solutions to advance LGBT rights further.
