After Punjab and Haryana governments submitting to treat eunuchs in the category of male for the purpose of employment, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has now asked the Central government to clarify its stand on the issue.
A month after Punjab told the court that it would treat eunuchs as male, the Haryana government has also told the court that third gender would be treated in the male category for government recruitment. For the record, there is no national policy on categorisation of eunuchs.

Haryana and Punjab are probably the first states in the country to explicitly state this categorisation. The matter of ‘discrimination’ in jobs to eunuchs was raised through a public interest litigation (PIL) filed in the court by a city resident, Kajal Mangal Mukhi, who described herself as eunuch.
