Hijra means "sexually incompetent person" in Hindi and Urdu, clearly articulating the characteristics of this group.

In essence, they are no big difference from the eunuchs of the ancient Ming Kingdom and the shemales of Siam now, they are all cut down trees and lay eggs, but most of the Hijra are forced to join, some of them are born with no sexual function, and more because of family reasons, they have been adopted by the elder Hijra since childhood, and they naturally become one of them when they grow up.

Although the Hijra are sexually incompetent, they are still predominantly masculine in appearance.

The origins of the Celestial Eunuchs can be traced back to the 5th century BC epic Ramayana, in which the prince Rama was exiled for 14 years because of the jealousy of Queen Gigayi.

During this time, all the servants left Rama, and only one eunuch, who was neither male nor female, waited for him alone for 14 years until the prince returned, and this man was the ancestor of Hijra.

Rama was deeply moved by the loyalty of his servants, and having already understood the universal truth of "Brahman", he gave blessings to the eunuch race, so in the mythology of Tianzhu, Hijra was a "messenger of the gods" with special religious implications.

The vast majority of people in Tianzhu have religious beliefs, and the influence of religion permeates every part of the country's society and culture, and the biological particularity of Haijra also gives some mystery to their group.

Although in mythology, they are appreciated by the god Rama, in reality, the survival of this special group has always been quite difficult, and most of them mainly survive by performing, which is considered a type of street performer

Generally speaking, Hijra is a natural male, and in terms of physical needs, it is similar to that of a normal man, but in order to become a real Hijra, she undergoes castration surgery at a certain age, lays eggs, cuts down trees and tears cabbage, and is subsequently accepted as a member of this group.

But many of Hijra's are not voluntary, nor are they born with gender identity disorders, etc., but are forcibly castrated as tools to make money.

If they really want to go up, the organization also opens the door, and they must go through the ritual of the gods, and they must be truly castrated.

So to a certain extent, the family conditions of the member determine whether he can afford to have castration, and whether he has been castrated or not is the standard for dividing Hijra's internal hierarchy.

Being a Hijra does not mean that you can escape the caste system and the gap between the rich and the poor, nor does it mean that you are equal, there are always people who are more equal than you, let alone in a country where the hierarchy is deeply rooted in the cultural genes of Tianzhu.

Low-caste Hijra are sometimes denied access to the collective blessing ritual because a large number of low-caste Hijra are poor-born or simply orphaned and cannot afford castration surgeries of up to nearly $1,000, so many Hijra are still biologically intact males.

If there are more people, it will become a group, and any group needs managers, and special groups like Hijra will not be mixed in by outsiders, so they are all internal management, closed to normal people, and closed for a long time, the manager and the managed will become two classes-

The uppermost level of Hijra is called Guru, which is the Sanskrit word for "Guru", which is generally translated as "guru"

Or "Guru".

Under the grandmaster are the disciples, commonly speaking, equivalent to assistants, they are the administrators in Hijra, these two classes often control the property of Haijra in the entire region, even if it is a dung picker, after monopolizing the entire area, the most leading can lie down and eat and drink spicy food, and Haijra is the same, the administrator has his own land and houses, like another form of religious leader

Correspondingly, the lowest-level Hijra is not so comfortable, they can only rely on going out to perform and "send blessings" for a living.

The so-called "blessing" is actually a kind of begging in disguise, after begging for money, the lower hijra must hand over all the income to the guru and the disciples, and then get food, daily necessities, and some living expenses from the disciples.

At some of the big festivals of the Tianzhu Sect, there will be performances by Haijra, on the one hand, because they are "messengers of the gods", and on the other hand, the crowds celebrating the festival gather to get more money.

It may seem like a good thing, you don't have to do anything, you can get an income by simply begging, but the truth is that the fate of the lower classes of Hijra is very miserable, they are not men or women, and they are often widely discriminated against by society because of their strange appearance, which comes from different social classes, different castes and even different genders.

They are often victims of hate crimes, being raped and beaten for no reason, but passers-by largely ignore this and often choose to remain silent.

After all, where can a people who live by begging have dignity?

However, in Tianzhu, they are still relatively few people who suffer violence, except for those who are in the brain and cannot find a woman to attack them, most of them are reluctant to provoke the Haijira group.

There are many reasons for this, but the main one is an old religious superstition that if you provoke Hijra, then you lose your sexual function.

With the progress of the times, Western ideology hit the world like a tsunami, even if it was the traditional Tianzhu, and the Hijra also added new members to the group, not only castrated people, but also homosexuals or intersex people, etc., a huge number.

In Tianzhu, all kinds of places where people gather may encounter Hijra.

This also makes people wonder, although Tianzhu has backward education and a strong religious atmosphere, but in the 21st century, many people have received higher education, and they have doubts about these traditional superstitions, so can Hijra's curse still work?

The answer is yes, because the Hijra are not benevolent men and women, but rather have a complete process for asking for money.

For pedestrians who are lone on the street, the process is to ask for change directly, and if they don't, Hijra will use their hands and feet: while looking at the pedestrian with affectionate eyes, they will quietly attach their hands to the pedestrian's body, and gently rub their fingers against any part of their body to tease them.

They don't pay much attention to their physical contact with men, so they always get some change.

Sometimes they commit crimes in groups!

Liu Yuan has a deep understanding of this, when he first learned about the way the Hijra seek wealth, he once secretly resolved with contempt that he would not give a penny, until one day he went deep into poverty

In the chaotic streets of Tianzhu, he was surrounded by a group of dark-faced and graceful men......

It's better for them to give as much as they want, it is difficult for ordinary people to resist their entanglement, so it's better to give some money and withdraw as soon as possible.

Since then, Hijra has left a deep impression on Liu Yuan, this special group actually has great energy!

This is also one of the reasons why Hijra often succeeds in "sending blessings", after all, in a country with a strong religious atmosphere, the legend of the gods still has a certain deterrent effect, and 10 rupees can solve the problem, so why risk the happiness of your lower body?

Pedestrians are liquid and unstable in their sources of funding, and the shops on both sides of the road are available all year round, and there is no doubt that these stores are key customers for Hijra.

Similar to the routine of asking for money from pedestrians, Hijra first twisted the pace of the six relatives and politely asked the boss for money, and if the boss didn't give it, then used the bewitching dance they had already practiced to dance in front of the store.

Although a group of enchanting and sturdy men provoked the Sanskrit dance in front of the public is very visually impactful, but the training system of its own school has already cultivated Hijra into a character that is not afraid of the eyes of outsiders, not to mention, this is their way of working, and it is their way of living.

As soon as the dance started, the dance was not finished, and the guests did not dare to enter the store, and the boss probably did not need to do business.

Generally at this time, most people will choose to give in, break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and occasionally those real businessmen who are really the first to drag on to the end, and then the onlookers will have the opportunity to see a shocking scene.

In the face of the shopkeeper who resolutely refused to give money, Hijra's last resort was - take off!

As a special group of people with physical impairments, Hijra's nudity was regarded as ominous, and in some backward and conservative areas it was even unknown to the point of being a pariah, so when this group of men with both yin and yang characteristics began to untie their clothes, people couldn't help but think of the curse of those ancient legends about the loss of children and grandchildren, and the destruction of families.
