Then she told that the existence of the society is very tough and painful for her because she always asked herself that who regarded to bag people for money or coerce them for giving money for free, her answer is may be no one.It proves that she similarly have a very strong self-respect. They just dont understand that it is not any diseases but hormone problem so why people looking at them very oddly with negative point of view. One of the most important things about their community was although they know that they were HIJRA but they didnt like that word. Then she smilingly told us that she can handle any kind of problem easily because she has the ability of both male and female. She and her friends can maintain any situation by herself without any do of other by showing their disability approach or brain.This was the main strength of their community that without any political or social backup they live their life with each other. There are antithetical kinds of hijra of their community who belong various religions like Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and Buddha etc. They celebrate their unearthly occasion like other people of society. Case Study-2 Bala is a Hijra (androgen), who is a member of Rayerbazer hizra community. The size of the community is large, where 65 people live together. They have a leader in this community who is the eldest person of the community, the y call her khala, and she plays a vital role in the community.She did not born in the community, she was borrowed from her family when she was 6 years old. Her family doesnt try to bring her back or stay connected with her. They dont take any baby because they think if their next baby born as hijra. She told the community has a strong network through they get the news of new hijras. Hijras are easily identifiable because of their nature and attitude. Where all the members along Bala collect money shops and give them all to khala, khala ensure the livelihood for all the members. The brotherhood is so strong between them, if anyone faces any problem everyone comes forward to help.The strength of the community is one for all, all for one. But they never have the happiness of family. They want life partners but that is quite impossible. Her demand from the society is everyone should treat them like a normal human being. Some eon they committed suicide because they cannot handle the way they are treated. She dont like to collect money from other, she claims that I can do any work, like others I as well have hands and those are strong. We are not useless we can contribute for the country. We just need opportunity. They work as the entertainer of the society. But they dont want to be the clown of the society.They dont want to live by begging from others. She dont like the way people look at her. People called her Hijra, which is very painful to her. She wants to know by her name. She came from a Muslim family and still maintains her religion. Like her other members of different religion live together without facing any problem. Case Study-3 Hanna is a member of Keranigonj Hijra community. First time when I saw her she was in a barber shop. She seemed very friendly. I took a short discussion with her. The community where she lives is not a large one. The community is leaded by her guru.She come into this community when she was 12 years old. Her family was ashamed of her. She left her family because of the torture of her father and some of the members of that community offer to join them. Here she found family, friend, food and shelter. After 13 years she is holding a important rate in the community. They basically collect money from the local markets and shops. They also accede in the dance of marriage and puja. When they got any information about new born baby they go and dance for money. When I asked about the problem that she faced, she replied there is problem in every aspect of the life of a hijra.One of the problems is people react very oddly when they saw a hira. She express they look like they saw an alien on the street. She handles this problem very interestingly that she thinks that she is a beauty queen and no one can took their eyes off her. Although they are very confident about themselves but they need the support of their community to survive in the society. People dont respect them as human being but they have more attachmen ts and feelings, moreover they are very religious. As they are also living human being, they want the basic human needs from society.They want to get out of their traditional lifestyle. They want to live in normal human society as a normal human being. They want to work for the society as well as for the country. They are strong and there is no doubt about it, because their community is surviving without any political and social backup. CONCLUSION Above all it can be say that hijra community who demand themselves as third gender also part of our society. They want nothing but the minimum respect for them and basic rights by which they can survive. If our society provides them chance to do something for betterment they can prove themselves as an asset.We all should help them to develop their community as well as our society by providing the facility which they deserve. It is the right time to change our point of view to them so that they can turn their helplessness into strength by serving our country and never hesitate to think that they are also a part of our society. Government should also help them by making laws and policies by serving them with their rights.
