ASKWB

@adil85: What a nice sense of humor do you have!! This post of you should reach to all part of our society. Who cares for them? We just try to bypass them keeping safe distance. Never try to listen their mind. Never consider them as a part of our society. I am completely agree with you. Thanks for your post and I think this topic would better fit in grievance.

At present, there are 2 million eununch in India. The Govt. of India has yet not given them their fundamental rights i.e. voting right. Whereas in Pakistan already they achieved the right to vote. (Source: http://asiancorrespondent.com/74591/tra … t-to-vote/)
Recently a Mumbai based NGO has filed a public interest litigation (PIL) before the Bombay high court (HC) demanding that eunuchs should be treated as humans with fundamental rights and should be issued voter identity cards. (Source: … 95905.aspx)
The petition is likely to come up for hearing this week. Let’s see what happens.

A couple of days back I was in New Delhi when I found an eunuch begging for alms at a traffic signal. He was about 6’3″ in height and well built (probably from Haryana) and was physically fit to do all the jobs which a human being can do for earning a respectable livelihood. I felt that he could be utilised as a durwan or security guard at any place in New Delhi. On the other hand I failed to understand that New Delhi which is the hot bed of politics and thousand of leaders passed through those streets did not have senses to feel about them. In the first week of January 2013 when India will usher into the new year, I would submit an application under RTI Act before the Election Commission requesting them to provide the information about its policy about the eunuchs and also as to why not they had been granted the status of voters. I am gathering the relevant information and also intend to file a case in the Supreme Court of India making the union of India and the Election Commission as respondents into the matter. Nowadays petitions in Supreme Court of India are filed online also. I would request the learned members of this forum to provide me more details which could be beneficial to me for preparing a case in their favour. I am thankful to nemo and tanmoy for giving the examples concerning the unfortunate community. I would invite the interest of others also to guide/help me to gain more information. Could anyone of you guide me with the Ministry of Justice and Social Welfare can be approached for their help into the matters?Thanks once again for your moral support.

Thanks tanmoy babu, it gives me immense pleasure in enhancing my knowledge through your post. I learnt a lot of secrets which were shrouded in the mystery. A ghastly way of life and animal like living has given a very dreadful picture of the entire customs and practice. Do we have any moral right to claim ourselves a civilized nation? What a horrible torture on a human being? Making one an eunuch artificially is an unpardonable crime. Why only rapists should be given lifer? Why there is demand of death for the rapists? Why not death for the persons who castrate another human being by a rude and ruthless surgical procedure? Alas! our law says that castration is an offence under section 326 IPC…..and nothing else. A small time punishment, if proved. Where are we going?
