[...Cultural descendents of the eunuchs of the Mughal court, most hijras today earn their living as prostitutes, beggars or dancers.....Pakistan’s cities have sizable hijras communities, but it is uncertain in which category the state places them....]

Are you kidding? Pakistan is a nation of hijjras. The Pak army is a hijra army that has lost every war it has fought and kills/subjugates its own citizens. And the Pak people are hijras to put up with these hijras in the army!!
