Nagpur: At Kasturchand Park in Nagpur, when the effigy of Demon King Ravan is burnt on yet another Dussehra depicting the victory of good over evil, there will also be an attempt to bring down a social bias.
For the first time, a troupe of 15 transgenders will be performing on the stage. The organizers — Sanatan Dharma Yuvak Sabha — have been holding the event in the city for the last 72 years.
