The InvisiblesIn this superb work of investigative reporting, Zia Jaffrey pursues the riddle of India's most elusive subculture, the cross dressing and often castrated figures known as "hijras" whose very name means neither male nor female. Are the hijras lucky or dangerous? Are they a nurturing community of outcasts or a criminal network that kidnaps and mutilates recruits? Do they number in the thousands or in the millions?

In this superb work of investigative reporting, Zia Jaffrey pursues the riddle of India's most elusive subculture, the cross-dressing and often-castrated figures known as "hijras" whose very name means neither male nor female. Are the hijras lucky or dangerous? Are they a nurturing community of outcasts or a criminal network that kidnaps and mutilates recruits? Do they number in the thousands or in the millions? As she talks with policemen, a unionizer of eunuchs, and with the hijras themselves, Jaffrey unravels veils of rumor and deception to locate the nature of our sexual and social thresholds, and the people who dwell on them. Deeply resonant, uniquely insightful, The Invisibles is an enthralling work."A magnificent journey. Jaffrey writes about this fascinating and delicate subject with human understanding and warmth."--Ryszard Kapuscinski "Sensitively written...eloquent...and compassionate."--New York Times Book Review

Happy purchase
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
This kurta arrived on time, in a clean and air sealed wrap. The material is soft as described, the design matches, and size matches what I was looking for. This was very comfortable to wear and I’ll be purchasing more from this brand of different colors. Great buy.

Thin, but dont let that stop you from buying.
Soft, looks nice, and im a fan in general. The things i do want to address is that its pretty thin fabric, and that even when i ordered the smallest size it was just a tad to big all around. Decent enough for the money tho.
