Mulayam Singh and his baby Akhilesh Yadav -game of thrones ( satire)

Mulayam singh yadav and his son are still fighting over who gets to be the Samajwadi party's supremo like it's their house. If anyone of you has been living under a rock for the past couple of days here is what happened, Mulayam Singh is old so the people who used to lick his boots have started licking his son Akhilesh Yadav's, because he is the current CM of Uttar Pradesh, and they depend on him to get their monthly bribes, cuts and other favours.

The veteran who used to be the center of all attention got jealous over his party folks drooling over his son instead of him, and so he called up Akhil and said "beta, I want to be incharge again", but lil Akhilesh didn't like his old man giving him advices so he threw him in a home for old age people. Mulayam Singh is rich so he bought the old age home he lived in, and united all the old folks in the home, and tried to take over the Samajwadi party's headquarters armed with walking sticks and beetle nut juice as their weapon, the party security were too afraid to stop them from entering them from building, because they thought shouting stop loudly would give them a heart attack.

They finally sneaked into the announcement room of the party
after taking 12 breaks while walking 2 flights of stairs, Mulayam Singh Yadav announced he had suspended his son for six years, but lil Akhilesh Yadav laughed at his father and made himself the the party's national president 2 minutes after his father's earth shattering announcement, the post was previously held by Mulayam, and it was given to him to make him believe that he still had some power. After Mulayam understood he had no real power anymore, he announced he is going to take Akhilesh back into the party, even though it was not his decision to make.

Akhilesh yadav in a interview with the media amidst all the scuffle said that he and father are still close and his father is still his leader, he met the media shortly after he hid his father's fake teeth under the sofa so he can't find it.

Who are Hijras

Hijras

Who?

A person is said to be a transgender if the gender they identify with, is different from one at birth.

What?

Hijra (aravani) is a term used in India to refer trans women.

Hijras have a rich history in
. In Mahabharata Arjuna lived as a hijra for a year.

Lord Rama of Ayodhya, gave transgenders, the ability to offer blessings in return for shelter during exile.

They used to serve as singers, dancers, maids and spiritual gurus.



When?

British colonial laws criminalized Hijras under CTA 1871, and 377 IPC, forcing them to secret groups with secret languages.

Though, a very old community, they are ridiculed and feared because of superstitions (alter fate). India has about 4,90000 (according to census 2011) transgender people.

How?

All are discriminated, abused, denied basic rights, even thrown out of families. Many take up begging and prostitution, as reasonable jobs are only for given either males or females.

The word ‘rape’ in Section 375 IPC does not even include transgenders.

Only in 2014, Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan ordered that they be recognized as the "Third Gender", much later than our neighbors Pakistan and Bangladesh.

And so

People like Kalki Subramaniam (first transgender entrepreneur) , Padmini Prakash (first transgender news anchor). Are an inspiration to many, as they broke out of stereotype.

In 2011, Hon'ble Justice Sathasivam said that the constitution promises equal rights to all, but has failed to deliver it for hijras.

The transgender community needs the support of other two sexes to break out of stigma and lead a normal life.
