Kamla Jaan (c. 1954 – 14 November 2019)[1] was an Indian hijra politician. Jaan was elected mayor of Katni in 2000, becoming the first eunuch mayor in the history of India.[2] In 2002, a judge ruled that Jaan was ineligible to serve as mayor, as the position was reserved for a woman and Jaan was registered as a man. After an appeal, Jaan was removed from office in 2003.[2][3]
