Kiran (A ray of hope...)

“Law is in action whenever there is wrong in the society. However, at the same time we also need a positive societal built-up to abstain people from doing wrong”. Despite having a robust legal framework for non-discrimination, the transgender community at large is struggling in pursuit of equality.
Kiran, a qualified advocate, being a transgender exposed to the humiliation and exploitation in walks of life, finally being optimistic found some motivation in a tweet of a law firm applauding the judiciary’s views on equality, dared to apply for a job at their leading work place. On the day of the interview, amongst the shortlisted candidates, Harshita, a granddaughter of a distinguished Judge was interviewed, despite her less interest in the offered profile a partner of the law firm Adv. Ranjeet (the interviewer) appraises her privileged background as her qualification for the job and an asset to the firm. After qualifying for initial shortlisting, Kiran approaches for an interview, but to his disappointment encounters the common reactions from the interviewer, who is supposed to be a torch bearer for justice. Disheartened Kiran without manipulating, replies to the interviewers’ prejudice subtly, and wraps up the conversation to leave the interview. Adv. Ranjeet being terrified with Kiran’s reaction narrates the incident to the other two partners, Adv. Pallavi and Adv. Abhijeet. Though Adv. Pallavi looks at this episode as an encouraging step from Kiran and relates the struggle of a transgender community with women's liberation. Nevertheless Adv. Abhijeet feels that their firm will be at fault if they do not offer Kiran a fair chance for an interview. Kiran with full determination reflects well in a fair call for an interview. More than a result of an interview, being heard without any prejudice gives Kiran a sense of being relevant.
Partners select Kiran and Harshita and both of them even join the firm. Harshita being perused as a privileged one and Kiran being perused as not qualified, ultimately stand on equal footing with their education and inclusion, truly reflecting the spirit of the preamble “An Equality of Status and of Opportunity”.
