how we felt until now 3

I remember travelling by train to Delhi some 12 years back. We were going because I had my exams. So father planned a small vacation along with. Exams and vacation together.....seems impossible!!!! But yes that is the case. Father is a mastermind of such trips!!!! So such short trips are a relief because more than the exams it is the sight seeing I am most interested in!!! But still until the exams there is a certain amount of tension for me. So during the journey I sometimes take out my books to read. But it is impossible to concentrate!!! We were nearing Delhi and everyone was so excited. The train halted somewhere without a station. We all were growing impatient. Suddenly out of nowhere some hinjra(eunuch) entered our compartment and demanded money from everybody. It is mostly the boys whom the go to. People out of fear gave them money. In India there blessings is thought to be auspicious and their curse equally effective. Whoever tried not giving them money , they stars touching and poke as well. My mother told my father to give them money. So they blessed my little brother and went away. This was my first major encounter. I was a little shocked as well. I used to think that such incidents occurred only on long distance train and mostly in big cities.

Nowadays, it is a regular phenomenon everywhere. They demand money more aggressively now. Recently, we were travelling to our maternal house. It is a roughly 6 to 7 hours journey by train but more than 5 eunuch entered and demanded money. My brother was sitting beside me. I told my brother to act  to be like sleeping. One of them came an started 
touching my brothers face . I grew angry. I told to collect money from my father who was sitting behind us. She blessed us and went away. It agitated me a lot. Again after sometime another followed and another after that. One of them poked my brothers face so hard that I almost shouted.

I was so shaken up that I was worried thinking about our return journey. But this time I was better prepared mentally. We denied giving money this time. We discussed after reaching home about it and was so angry over the incident. But my brother came and made me understand that it is lack of financial support due to which they are compelled to do such things.

This is a world for everybody and I completely believe that everybody is same and should enjoy equal privileges. I respect every community but I don't support what is wrong. Good or bad don't belong to any cast, creed, sex or religion. People should make this place a beautiful  place and live and let others live.
