From Nilukshi..

Nilukshi is studying at AUW (Asian University for Women), Bangladesh. She attended our Kolkata workshop sometime back. She and her colleagues have taken up the cause of Kinnar (Hijra) community for acceptance.. Check out this link:

In India, some people like Mahesh Bhatt, the film maker, have taken up the cause. But by and large, main stream society remains ignorant and indifferent.. I think the solution is sharing of correct, unbiased information about the community and their issues.
