"I
am neither a woman nor I am a man.....
it's
not a crime, if I am someone who is a Eunuch."
'Eunuchs or Transgender' means, the third integral part of the society apart from women and men. Even though eunuchs have been seen in society from a different point of view but, the the social truth is that eunuchs in society have been seen in every scripture from ancient times to Ramayana and Mahabharata. Today's Eunuchs-society is gradually succeeding in making a distinct identity in every field from education to politics. In the same category today, ‘The Social Truth’ is going to tell about one such eunuchs Pooja Sharma aka 'Rekha' (Pooja Sharma aka 'Rekha') from Mumbai who has not only mastered the dance art but currently working with many eminent production houses.

enters with the desire to take only one rupee from the people in the train.

they have given me the name Rekha."

Rekha wants to change the attitude of society towards eunuchs
Pooja,
who is asking for only one rupee from the passengers in the train,
says "Since childhood, I have no greed for money, I just want you to let
the eunuchs live in this world, they were made by the same God, as you all. So
they are also entitled to respect, there is no dearth of anything in this
world, only give respect to the eunuchs for their share. Through a radio show
Rekha asks the society - "The social truth is when a child is born or in the opening of
a new shop or setting up a business with a view of auspicious and inauspicious
, the eunuchs are called first, then why is the society so reluctant to honor
them? Or why do you change your path from that one on which a eunuch is
going? I just want the eunuchs to be given the necessary respect from this
society."
