Journey Through India’s Captivating Curiosities You Never Knew Existed
Celebrating India’s Hijras
Transgender people, known as Hijras, have been a part of India’s culture for centuries. They have their own distinct language called Hijra Farsi, a unique blend of Hindi, Urdu, and other local dialects. In 2014, India officially recognized Hijras as the third gender, marking a significant step towards equality.
Historically, they faced persecution and discrimination but also held revered roles in religious ceremonies and as blessings at weddings and births. Today, Hijras continue to navigate their identity with resilience and pride, contributing richly to India’s diverse cultural tapestry.
