A peek into transgender activist Dhananjay Chauhan's trials and tribulations at Panjab University.
This is a story that ends well. There are no villains. Those who surround the protagonist treat him kindly.
This is about a transgender student called Dhananjay Chauhan, who, after taking admission in Panjab University (PU) in Chandigarh in 2016 demanded a separate restroom for the third sex. No university in the world has an exclusive restroom dedicated to the gender he belongs to. Now, PU has one.
In 2016, the PU authorities passed a budget of Rs 27 lakhs and within 12 days of the demand, not one, but two exclusive restrooms were passed for transgender students. They are expected to be operational soon. Chauhan has asked the authorities to allot one of them to the specially-abled students.
