I know her since a long time, and she is a simple soul , she begs at the Bandra Bazar Road , this is their only source of income , this is their karmic punishment for breaching the gender wall, they are biological male reliving the dream of a women in a woman's attire so to speak.
They are the lowest rung of the Hijra social order, the are also known as Mangtis.
They beg alms at street corners , traffic signals and at the markets.
