If you travel to North India on Indian Railways, don't forget to set aside a thirty to fifty rupees for Hijads. The minimum amount the Hijadas will charge you is ten rupees; no chance for bargaining there. It is as saying a fact like the “Earth Surrounds the Sun”, that the Hijads ask you for ten rupees. If you deny that amount or try to give less than ten to (her/him), get ready to endure anything from them; they may sit upon your lap, kiss on your hands or face or press upon your penis.
Once, during my travel to Delhi, as I was sleeping on an upper birth, I did not catch up the gender status of a beggar who was pressing me hard on my leg for money. I turned down his/her appeal and closed my eyes mechanically into sleep, hoping that it would not be a Hijada. But it was, which I knew as I got hard pressing on my penis and belly. Suddenly, I got up and gave her one hundred rupees and extended my hands for the balance, that is ninety rupees.
It is a kind of selective beggary, not a general thing. Hijadas do not seek money from all the people. I think they have set a few constant criteria for begging; some of them beg only from men, some from women, some from youngsters and like that. This classification may be made based on their hidden gender status.
