It’s totally the Noble Savage all over again plus Edward Said’s concept of Orientalism. What’s even weirder is when they talk about groups of people who are still around (the Hijra) and they make no attempt to learn more than a one line self-serving platitude. They don’t talk to the Hijra or people from the society in which Hijra exist to figure out what that’s all about.
