Saris, gold bangles and cash are so yesterday. It's laptops, smart phones and iPads that the new generation of tech-savvy eunuchs, or hijras, in the city are asking for at wedding and childbirth functions as badhai (a custom in which eunuchs sing and dance, give blessings and receive gifts in return).
Puja Bagga, a resident of GK I, whose brother-in-law got married last November, shares, "I was taken aback when a group of eunuchs demanded laptops instead of the traditional gifts. We had to purchase three Toshiba laptops for them."
