ITANAGAR, India — A regiment of eunuchs should be established to guard India's borders and leading politicians, a state minister suggested on Tuesday, citing their "loyalty and integrity".

"In my humble opinion, if eunuchs are engaged in policing or paramilitary forces they would do a better service to the nation," Tako Dabi, home minister of the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, told AFP.
