"It was not just Sujoy and Reema who seized the opportunity to express
their transgender identities in a public forum. Over 39 contestants
from the city and its surroundings gathered in Eastern Zonal Cultural
Centre on Sunday to participate in eastern India's first beauty
contest for transgender people, hijras and kothis."
