Hijra - one of the untouchable castes in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, which includes representatives of the "third sex." It is a community of men (physically) or hermaphrodites who dress and act like women who describe themselves as a female name, but do not consider themselves to any the floor.  The number of hijra according to various estimates range from 50,000 to 5 million.  They are part of the culture of South Asia for several millennia.  Because of their sexual differences, they are social outcasts.  When you meet hijra in Bangladesh, you can feel their pride in what they differ from the rest.

Kalo korang layan Learning Channel kat Astro (luper ar which channel), ada diciterkan pasal transvetite around the world dan terdapat satu segment menciterkan pasal golongan Hijra nie...

Di India... golongan ni dianggap yang suci. Mereka tak berani nak mencaci or menghina golongan ni sebab sekali mereka menyumpah seranah or cursing, maka tak berkatlah hidup.

Sekiranya ada kelahiran baru... golongan hjra akan dijemput utk membuat persembahan dirumah keluarga yang mendapat baby baru tu...

*Lain tempat lain budaya....
