The anti-man role: Those who cannot penetrate women are 'third genders'

In the "Comedy circus" episode telecast today (with hippo as the theme), comedian Rajesh makes a 'punch' like this, (he is playing a Hijra), "hamein tali ke siwa kuch bajana aataa hi nahin," (we can't do anything but clap).

"bajana" is a verb, that means to 'play' a musical instrument or to 'beat' a drum. 'Tali bajana' means to clap. As a vulgar slang, it also means to 'penetrate' sexually.

This was a dig at the common anti-man manhood role that says that a man who cannot 'do' women is a Hijra. That is the (mis)definition of Hijra most common in India, that Hijras are those that cannot have sex with women (it is assumed that it is because either they are castrated or they cannot physically achieve an erection, because of physical problems).
