Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on hijra communities and custom in South Asia, consulted 2026-08-11, the lower tier reflecting a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, useful for a general overview rather than a substitute for a dedicated ethnographic study. NotesWikipedia's article on hijra communities of South Asia, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for the guru-chela transmission structure of hijra custom and the 2014 National Legal Services Authority versus Union of India Supreme Court ruling, both standard reference facts rather than contested claims.
