The Eunuch !
Small story on my helplessness and hopelessnes of the society I belong to. Don't eunuchs have rights ? Are they not as human as I am or you are ? Then why this discrimination ?

I commute with my friend in a rick everyday from my home to
my office . On my way there are a few
traffic signals . On one of the traffic signals there are a few eunuchs begging
in their own way clapping . Well we have left them to nothing other than
begging . Friday is their day and one will find them at most of the congested
traffic signal near malls and other such places . One of the eunuchs approached
me and clapped I took out Rs.10/- from my purse and gave. He blessed me and my
friend and walked away.
‘You are very generous !’ she said with a smirk .
‘You shouldn’t encourage them . They are thieves .’
suggested the rick driver . Well people love to thrust their opinion on the
drop of a stone and this was something good as everyone is preaching to stop
begging by not giving alms.
‘If he is begging on the streets everyone of us is
responsible . Society at large is responsible for the state he is in . Who
loves begging ?’
‘They don’t do anything. They rob people .’ The rick driver
was not to stop at any point it seemed and he needed some gyaan apart from my
friend .
‘I am not generous . I feel responsible as a part of the
society that has taken away all their rights . I am myself an employee so I
cannot give him a job . My organization would never approve of hiring an eunuch
.
I [society] don’t
allow him into my schools so I take away his right to education .
I [society] don’t give him an employment and hence take away
his right to earn living and right to freedom though it is a free country.
I [society] don’t allow him into my society and discriminate
on the ground of sex and hence I take away his right to equality.
I [society] would prefer to see him begging on streets but
not question my [societies] intention on forcing him to beg . I cannot stop men using them for their sexual desires and exploit them and hence I take
away his right against exploitation.
I don't mind them dancing at my wedding and entertaining but I mind if they come to my disc or pub !
In a way, I , the society has taken away all their fundamental
rights and still would like to tag them and judge them . I am not generous . I
am guilty . I am ashamed not to be able to help them and so I offer them money
.’
The signal turned green and the rick stopped and wouldn’t
start . There were lots of vehicles around honking to just get past and run off
till the signal was green . They wouldn’t mind even if the signal was red as
far as there was no police around . There
came a helping hand that pushed the rick and it started but before the rick
driver accelerated into the traffic I popped my head out and thanked . It was
the eunuch from the signal .
‘You are a nice lady !’ He said with a beautiful smile and shook my hand .
He made my day .
But I am not generous I am simply guilty .
