Imagine, for a moment that you were born, just like any other human was, out of your mother’s womb and into the vast and wild world. Envision, that you were born as something you never wanted to be, something you didn’t have a decision for, something you were born with and will eternally be a part of you.
Now imagine being scorned, mistreated, brutally killed, mercilessly disgraced and looked upon as a sign of filth. Feeling powerless, YES? This is what these people feel, every single day.
There are approximately 500,000 ‘third-gender’ nationals in our country and it was just in 2012 that this group was given a couple of lawful rights.

A scholarship program has been started for those individuals who couldn’t continue their education.
If given a chance, transgender community can bring a change to our society. If we accept and educate them, would there be a need of them going place to place, dancing or begging? We all know these castrated men were appointed as guards and served as servants at the royal courts in Mughal era and as caretaker of holy places but now? What changed?
