Indian Mythological And Marginalised View Of Rasaathi: The Other Side Of A Transgender

Abstract

Reading a lot of different books in an effort to shed some light on the marginalized community in India, we track down a modern Indian author by the name of Sasindran Kallinkeel.  He has described the life the span of a transgender, in his book Rasaathi: The Other Side of a Transgender, in 2020.  This is the first novel the author has published, and it is meant to honour the transgender community. The term "transgender" does not refer to a specific person rather it is now used to refer to the “Third Gender Community.” This bewildered male or female community is referred to with a variety of nouns, such as Aravani, Eunuch, Hijira, kinnar, Napumsakam, Gay, etc., but India still adheres to an antiquated form of bigotry. Since we are being completely honest, we believe that it provides a glimpse into the lives of the community that is probably the most stigmatised and poorly understood in the Indian Subcontinent. What would you say is the most important thing that this book imparts to its readers?  The answer to all of our problems lies in acquiring the appropriate knowledge. Rasaathi, the protagonist, who narrates the story, is a transgender. People who are a part of the “Third Gender Community” find out more about themselves as they scroll down the pages of this book. They learn about their goals in life, the rituals they observe, the subjects they study, and the jobs they hold, as well as the ways they can live in harmony with the rest of society. By travelling with Rasaathi, the living icon of the community, the other two genders, males and females, are delivered from the social stigma or prejudice that is associated with the Transgender or Third Generation Community. This oppressed group will finally be freed from the ignorance that has been plaguing them. The members of the “Third Gender Community,” also known as transgender, they feel proud about God’s creation themselves. A healthy society gives importance to quality.  Using margizanalised theory and myth concept, this article attempts to trace out the solution by providing only correct knowledge and understanding of this community only will bring about a revolution toward the equality of the sexes and wellbeing.
