Abstract	Whenever there is a discussion of hijra community, we hear specific words addressed for them like chakka, minor community, third gender, napunsak, eunuch and mostly found as the victims of the social, sexual, mental and economic exploitation leading them towards discrimination and poverty. Eunuch or third genders not only face their problems with respect to their identity, but also physical and sexual problems in social milieu. Most of them are avoided by the society calling them as ‘others’, ‘third genders and chakka. Though the Supreme Court has conferred their own identity; still, they are suffering from innumerable problems like social and mental exploitation, mental torments, and hates etc. this group is still dreaming for equality, self-identity, proper health care and fraternity. The present paper is an attempt to peep into the actual life of hijra community and their secondary plight in social milieu.
