Keywords:
Transgender, Narcopolis, Sexuality, Relinquish, GenderAbstract
This research paper examines the significance of the third gender in the second phase of Bombay by analysing the novel Narcopolis (2012) from the perspective of a Transgender observer. Through thorough observation, this study has concentrated on the central problem of LGBT issues and their accomplishments. Bombay is portrayed in the story by characters including Dimple, Rashid, Newton Xavier, and Mr Lee. The narrator arrives in Bombay from New York Metropolis; the underworld city is particularly addicted to opium and has many brothels in this country. Following Dimple's life journey, the narrative transition moves from 1970 to 2004 in old Bombay. This research article finishes with a discussion of Dimple's smoking addiction.
