There is no age or relationship limitation in love. There is no gender difference. That is why the teachers and students of Jahangirnagar University celebrated this Valentine's Day with the people of the third sex. They celebrate the day by putting henna on the hands of the students.
The event started at 10:30 am on Wednesday at Mahua floor adjacent to the new Kala Bhaban of the university. The whole ceremony is funded by the hijras. At this time they put henna on the hands of teachers and students. No one wanted to pay, but they did not.
Not only that, to keep this memory of the university, the hijras took various experiences in genji. Jabir teachers and students write about their experiences, comments or love in their vests.
The event was inaugurated by the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Professor Mozammel Haque.
Professor Mozammel Haque, the inaugural speaker of the event, said, “I never thought such a festival would be held at the university. Whenever I received an offer, I gladly accepted it. Our university students are very good, they will accept you well. You should never think differently. You are part of our society. '
Rezwana Karim Snigdha, Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology was in overall charge of the event. He said about the purpose of the event.
Rezwana Karim Snigdha said, "Those whom we push away as heterosexuals have negative perceptions, but they are also human beings like us. From the lowest to the highest strata of society, most people have misconceptions about them." The purpose of this event is to break that misconception. '
Shammi Hossain of the third gender spoke on the occasion. "We are just like you," he said. We have all the needs and feelings just like you. But we are isolated from family, parents, society, the state. We are also deprived of the love that no human being can live without. We also want to get love. Today we have organized this at the university. Because the students here will go to big places of the country at some point. Then they should not have any misconception about us. '
