She told us that she came into this community when she was nine years old. Because of her hormone problem her family left her there. Although her mother loved her lot but unable to stop her father to relinquish her from the family. She told us that still she wanted to stay with her family but when she go for her family they behaved very rude with her. They dont thus far touch her and m ade face like they have seen a alien.Then she told us about their leader on the Rayer Bazaar hijra community who takes care of her as like her child. The leader decided the role of each member and the leader was selecting by concerning their age no matter how active she works. She told us that they dance and sing on societys birthday party and marriage ceremonies but basically they collect money from market to survive. Then she told that the existence of the society is very stumblebum and painful for her because she always asked herself that who wanted to bag people for money or forced them for giving money for free, her answer is may be no one.It proves that she also have a very strong self-respect. They just dont understand that it is not any diseases but hormone problem so wherefore 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 help 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 different kinds of hijra of their community who belong various religions like Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and Buddha and so forth They celebrate their religious 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 fully grown, where 65 people live together. They have a leader in this community who is the eldest person of the community, they 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 fami ly 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 specifiable 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. Sometime 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 also have hands and those are strong. We are not unus able 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 known 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. original 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 nitty-gritty them. Here she found family, frie nd, food and shelter. After 13 years she is holding a important position in the community. They basically collect money from the local anesthetic markets and shops. They also participate 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 say 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 eyeball 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 attachments and feelings, moreover they are very religious. As they are also living human being, they want the basic human needs from society.T hey 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 weakness 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 a nd policies by serving them with their rights.
