ANOTHER WORLD
I got these Demotix photos showing "Karachi's eunuchs" holding a candlelit vigil on World AIDS. Eunuchs? Really? Now?

Well....

If the Supreme Court of Pakistan's (SCP) decision to give eunuchs seats in the Parliament comes into effect, the eunuchs are all set to draft a resolution against the Sindh police and City District Government Karachi (CDGK) officials for their brutal behaviour against the eunuchs. MORE

I know some people who think that eunuchs are God’s chosen favourites and one should not be rude to them. But while I can understand that some enuchs are born that way and deserve to be pitied, I think most hijras today have either got themselves castrated or have been forcibly castrated to earn money by begging. MORE

Unknown elements have launched a mysterious campaign against eunuchs since the last week, triggering anxiety among non-governmental organisations working for the prevention of HIV/AIDS. MORE

But, see:

For arguments sake, say you were one of the abductors in the aforementioned scenario, and the Madadgar 15 Police catch you with your pants down, along with your bored and ignorant friends, 3 eunuchs and some felonious t-shirts. One would expect you would have a nice, airtight excuse at the ready for just such an emergency. Surely you could'nt even hope to rely on the pathetic excuse for an excuse that is: “Oh Good Evening officer, me and my friends and my eunuchs are all on our way to NADRA”. MORE
