Bangalore:  Male, Female or Others - the last category is the revolutionary step taken by Bangalore University in ensuring that trans-gender students are not lost when asked to define their sex on the application form. (Comment here)

The move comes courtesy Suma, a 24-year-old transsexual, who decided it was time to get an MBA.  "I was tired of sex work. But when I went to the college (a private one, not affiliated to Bangalore University), the principal asked me, "Under what category do we put you...you are neither a girl nor a boy...and because of one student, everything will get spoilt."  She then approached the Bangalore University.
