Indian Police Detain 167 Transgender Women After Bangalore Pride Protest: VIDEO
Indian police initiated a “crackdown” on public begging that resulted in the jailing of 167 hijras, which are transgender Indian women and also third gender identifiers, in a Hoysalas beggars colony located on the outskirts of Bangalore reports The Advocate and LGBT Indian news source Orinam. The crackdown began a day after Bangalore’s Pride parade concluded. An anti-begging law enacted in 1975 under the Karnataka Prohibition of Beggary Act declares that detained beggars must go to a “relief center” for “rehabilitation” and stay there for a total of three years.
Fortunately, police later released all 167 hijras after they wrote guarantees saying that they will no longer ask strangers for money or food however, India’s LGBT community believes the crackdown is a response directed toward the community after protests staged at Bangalore’s Pride parade denounced the recriminalization of homosexuality that occurred in December 2013. Nearly 2,000 hijras and their supporters marched to the town hall on Wednesday to protest the actions of police after the crackdown sweep that occurred on Monday.
Orinam is calling for an inquiry, claiming that many of the hijras were not actively begging-many were going about their daily chores at the time they were taken into custody. Orinam also claims police barged into hijra homes, dragging them out onto the street. Critics of the anti-begging law claim that it makes looking poor a criminal act, leaving hijras susceptible to incarceration because they’re often considered “untouchables,” that do not have access to certain forms and levels of employment. Although all 167 of those detained were quickly released, many are fearful that hijra arrests will continue in the coming weeks.
Film maker and photographer Luigi Storto released a trailer almost a year ago for his film “Naleena,” about hijra life and the unique procedure a hijra undergoes to “renounce” one’s gender. Watch the intriguing trailer, AFTER THE JUMP…

Shape Up! Here’s A Healthy Holiday How-To
Well, the holidays have arrived. Right around now, many of us throw in the towel and lose focus on our fitness and wellness. You say you’ll start back up in January, but a few pounds later you’re left feeling bloated and depressed as you don your gay apparel (now seemingly tighter in all the wrong spots!).
It doesn’t have to be like this. Follow these tips and you’ll ring in this holiday season feeling and looking amazing! But run run, Rudolph, you have to start now!
1. Indulge!
That’s right, I said indulge. Plan out your cheat meals (not days) and limit them to once or twice a week. Have two holiday parties this weekend? Great! Have fun! Eat, drink and be merry, but take away the Chinese food on Tuesday night, the big Sunday brunch, the cookies at the office, and the after work cocktails. Little cheats add up in a big way.
2. Schedule Your Workouts.
Take out your planner and figure out when you are going to exercise at the beginning of every week. Be realistic, though. If you never have been a 6AM athlete, you probably won’t become one in December. Reflect on strategies that have worked well for you during busy times this year and apply them.
3. Be Accountable.
Hire a trainer. Sign up for bootcamp classes with a buddy to keep you both motivated. Heck, you could even instruct your boyfriend to return all of your gifts this year unless you uphold your fitness routine. Okay, that’s crazy talk, but find a way to be accountable to yourself or others.
4. Be Grateful.
Many of us equate the holidays with stress. I have my clients write down something they are grateful for and one thing they have done for their health and well-being every day during the holidays. This simple exercise only takes a few minutes and really helps to alleviate stress, keeps you thinking positively, and serves as a daily reminder to stay connected to your fitness and wellness.
We believe in you. Keep motivated and dedicated to your fitness regimen throughout the month so that you sail into the New Year looking like the champ you are meant to be.
The Phoenix Effect, a metabolic bootcamp that gets you in shape fast, is offered exclusively at Mansion Fitness, 7914 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood.
