The famous term Subaltern used by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak is a very dynamic term. This term cannot be
seen just from a postcolonial perspective, and it can be applied to every unconsoled lot of this unjust world
where to be weak is to be miserable. Roy's novel The Ministry of Utmost Happiness is essential in this regard.
Applying the concept of subaltern (introduced by Spivak) on a transgender person, as highlighted in this novel,
is the prime objective of this research paper. The researcher will endeavor to analyze how Roy, in this novel,
has presented the miseries and pains of these subalterns and their struggle to survive in this oppressive
environment, thereby urging the global audience to become a voice for these voiceless subalterns. This research
endeavor will highlight the subaltern identities from the transgender community presented in this novel and the
agonizing existence they are bound to accept in Post-Independence India.
