LGBT history in Pakistan
In the Indus Valley Region i.e. (Pakistan), the Mughals appointed transgenders to positions of power and trust. Transgenders served as courtiers and councils, giving advice to Princes and Princesses. They were familiar with court etiquettes and knew the secret workings of Mughal households. They were domestic insiders. Having the controls of intelligence officers and the prestige of Royal confidantes, transgenders enjoyed special powers and privileges unavailable even to the most powerful Wazirs (ministers) of the Islamic Kingdom. Transgenders were educated in statecraft and nuances of religion. This treatment and elevation in the Mughal courts provided a great incentive for non-Muslim transgenders to accept Islamic faith.
