VADODARA: Over a century ago, Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad gave a new lease of life to the eunuch community by not just giving them right to education but also helping set up businesses to earn a respectable livelihood. History, it seems, is repeating itself 120 years later.
The royal Gaekwads are all set to mainstream the LGBTQA community in the city by setting up a first-of-its-kind cafe. "The cafe will be completely managed by the LGBTQA community that is being trained in hospitality management," said Radhika Raje Gaekwad, trustee and vice-president of Maharani Chimnabai Stree Udyogalaya (MCSU).
