Teesra Jahan by Savita Jain ‘Savy’ marks a thoughtful and courageous addition to contemporary literature, offering readers a deeply empathetic exploration of lives often pushed to the margins of society. Following the heartfelt response to her first poetry collection Aks, which reflected her journey as a woman, mother, and human being, this second work emerges from the author’s desire to continue writing with purpose and social sensitivity. Encouraged by her readers’ love, Savita Jain turns her attention to a community whose voices have long remained unheard.
The book brings the transgender community into focus, shedding light on generations of discrimination, exclusion, and denial of basic human rights. It reflects on the painful reality faced by many transgender children who are separated from their families due to fear and prejudice, beginning life with loss and hardship. Denied access to education, employment, and dignity, they are often left with limited means of survival, while their dreams, emotions, and identities remain suppressed under rigid social norms.
Through Teesra Jahan, the author raises simple yet profound questions—questions about love, respect, and equal opportunity, and whether society is willing to change its mindset to truly include everyone. Her writing does not seek sympathy alone, but understanding, urging readers to recognize the shared humanity that binds all individuals beyond gender identities.
Savita Jain ‘Savy’, a seasoned professional with over three decades of service in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, brings a rare balance of administrative experience and literary sensitivity to her work. A graduate in Information Technology and a committed writer, she has consistently remained connected to literature alongside her professional journey. With nearly two hundred poems to her credit and active involvement in social service and women’s welfare, her writing reflects a deep concern for equality, dignity, and compassion.
Teesra Jahan stands as a sincere attempt to open hearts and minds, reminding readers that inclusion begins with empathy and that every individual deserves respect, opportunity, and acceptance.
