EUNUCHS commonly known as khusras or hijras are part of this world and
they have dreams, emotions and fears just like normal people.

Most hijras live on the margins of society and people generally look
down on them. The very word hijra is used in a derogatory manner.
Eunuchs follow their gurus and have mainly three sources of income.
Those who dance and sing at homes on births or at weddings take
wadahi. They also make money by prostitution. Those who seek alms are
called mangtay.
