The Best of Muskan Indan Transgender

725 views

©  EXIF
This is Muskan.
Yes she is a Hijda .
Indian Transgender .
A woman in a male body..
She has undegone castration .
She has faced an uphill task .
She has yet to make something of her life in a society where people shun eunuchs, they are treated worse than lepers.

Mukan is bold , I shot a series of her pictures, she asked me if I wanted to shoot her in a bikini I refused politely.
My Hijda pictures are not for titillation .
I have captured the warring soul within a single body of a Hijda who begs from shops , dances the cabaret , blesses new born kids a ritual called badhai.
