Eunuchs seek their Mughal era 'role'

Link
4/27/2008

"In the Mughal empire, eunuchs were employed to take care of harems and
some of them became aides of queens. Being castrated males, they could
not exploit women of the harems sexually, but were able to carry out
domestic works. In the recent Bollywood film, Jodhaa Akbar, a eunuch
was shown as a trusted lieutenant of Jodhaabai."
