Do you know which country in the world has the most eunuchs? That's right, it's that amazing country, India. These eunuchs belong to a relatively special group in India, they are not shemales, they do not talk about gender, they have a very special name, called "Hygilas".
A messenger of God
To become Hygilas, you need to go through a special ritual and have age requirements. The youngest is 10 years old, while the oldest is around 15 years old. If you are over this age, you cannot become Hygilas. And their task is to bring bullying to others because they are "messengers of God," at least as they used to be.

In the Morayana, one of the two great Indian epics, there is a record of Hijras. The famous prince of India, Rama, decided to give up his throne and practice alone, which was 14 years. After a period of waiting, Rama's slaves also left, leaving only one eunuch slave.
Rama gained divine power in his practice, then returned to India, and when he saw that the former slave still had a person holding on, Rama was so impressed by such a loyal act that he gave the slave some divine power and blessed the slave. And that's the progenitor of Hijras.

Because of this, it was first thought that Hygilas was the "messenger of God", a person who had been blessed by Prince Rama and could bring good luck to people's prayers. This makes Hygilas a very important group, and if you want to become Hygilas, you have to pay a great price.

In addition to the need for castration before the age of fifteen, it was necessary to sever any ties with the family and choose a Hygilas as his "mother". Therefore, in the group of Hygilas, there is only a "mother-daughter relationship", and people also use "she" to refer to this group.
But now, Higilas is not very beautiful, and even hated by people, what is going on?
Towards loneliness
Once Hygilas was unique, in people's hearts, they are the messengers of God, can bring happiness to people. Not only did they have a high status in religion, but generally only the royal family and nobles could ask Hygilas to dance and pray.

And in the north of India, there are many people who are believers in Hygilas, the most representative of which are Rajasthan and Gujarat, who will invite Hygeras to dance and pray at the wedding banquet, with the intention of wishing a happy new marriage and an early birth of a noble son.
When their baby is born, people will also invite Hygilas again, and Hygilas will perform a special dance, then pick up the child, put his hand on the baby's forehead, and then give the baby the blessing of longevity and longevity. For these people, this is undoubtedly a blessing from "God."

But the hygilas people here are poorer people who don't have any money, and all they can give to Hygilas is wheat and sugar. Still, Hygilas was willing to accept the job. Over time, the group of Hygilas grew larger.
This means that this group began to become more and more complex, and there was no longer the original purity, because some gay, transgender and intersex groups that were rejected by society chose to join the ranks of Hygilas when there was no way out, which directly inflated the number of Hygilas to about 1 million.
And although these people are nominally Hygilas, they will dress themselves up very charmingly, and then in some more chaotic places, rely on selling hues for a living, which is contrary to the original Hijras, because this behavior is more and more, and people are beginning to hate Hygilas.

It was believed that Hygilus had become impure, that he was no longer a "messenger of God," and that Hygilus would no longer be asked to pray. So Hygilas was pushed to the margins of society, how could they survive?
Survival puzzles
Because of the addition of many groups, the wind evaluation of Hygilas became very bad, and gradually the status of Hygilas in people's minds plummeted.

And with the development of the times, people's dislike of Hygilas has gradually turned into discrimination. By now, Hygilas had gone from being a "messenger" to the most despised group in India, and Hygilas had become a socially isolated group. Such changes have brought about earth-shaking changes in Hygilas' lifestyle.
Because no one prayed to Hijras for blessings, they could not even solve the basic problem of food and clothing, so they began to use some special methods to earn money. For example, if you look better, you will dress up very beautifully, and then rely on hue to earn daily expenses.

Those who look ordinary, or who are older than the sea Gilas, will choose to go to the door of the store to beg, and these shop owners will see them, as if they saw the plague god, and quickly give them a few money to leave, sometimes the store owner will not give them money, but only give them some food.
The young Hygilas earns a little more money every day, but when he returns home, he still has to give part of his income to his "mother", and his remaining money is simply not enough to survive on his own. To this end, the Indian government has also made some subsidies.

In some places, Hygilas receives a monthly allowance of 1,000 rubles, but their living conditions are still worrying. In addition, It has become very difficult for Hygilas to see a doctor, and many doctors have even refused to see Hygilas. However, some Hygilas are also working hard to change their destiny, hoping that this will change in the future.
