Over the course of the last ten months, the Centre for Health Law, Ethics and Technology at Jindal Global Law School has submitted numerous Right to Information application requests to all states in India regarding the policies and welfare schemes established for transgender, gay and lesbian persons (gender non-conforming sexual minority groups). The RTI asked simple questions from the state government departments: (i) What are the welfare schemes for transgenders and hijras in the state? (ii) What are the welfare schemes for sexual minorities in the state? (iii) What are the laws and policies for transgenders and hijras in the state? (iv) What are the laws and policies for sexual minorities in the state? (v) How many transgenders and hijra population is there in the state? and (vi) Do government hospitals offer free or subsidized sex reassignment services? The Centre received responses from nearly twenty-three states. However, the sufficiency of the responses varied by state. Some states provided answers to all six questions. Other states, such as Nagaland, only provided a response to one of the questions asked, whereas other states merely transferred the RTI back and forth between departments resulting in a failure to provide even a single answer to any of the queries. This article discusses the RTI respsonses.
