How does religion allow the Hidras to exist within Indian Culture?
In Hindu contexts, hijras belong to a special caste. They are usually devotees of the mother goddess Bahuchara Mata, Lord Shiva or both. Hijra culture draws upon the traditions of several religions. Bahuchara Mata is a Hindu goddess who, when a man tried to rape her, she cursed him with impotence. When the man begged her forgiveness to have the curse removed, she relented only after he agreed to run in the woods and act like a woman
