Abstract: The purpose of this study is to find out how gender perspective and different voices play a role in the 21st century. Gender perspective primarily focuses on gender based differences with regard to status and power, and how such differences shape our economic world and interest of men and women. The available literature shows that gender inequality mainly focused on men and women only. The Hijras of India are presumably the most outstanding and crowded third sex type in the cutting-edge world. It was seen from existing literature that Hijras in Indian culture face issue in each field. Present Paper will centre on the issues and status of the third gender in states of India (Top 10 Largest to smallest state Ares wise). The present paper is to establish a connection between third sex Community and economic growth of 10 largest states area wise states in India. Transgender individuals face numerous difficulties throughout their life; they are tested inwardly, rationally, physically and socially. Many theoretical researches and studies state clear evidence of a direct relationship between gender inequality and people of Transgender community. So, this study aims to link the Transgender community and how it affects the economic growth of a country. Majorly, Hijras face a two-pronged problem i.e. employment and literacy. So, in this paper, we attempt to analysis link between the Gross state domestic product, employment rate and literacy rate.
