How is the position of Hijra in Indian society?

I visited India a few months ago (I’m from The Netherlands 🇳🇱🇪🇺) and saw so many hijras, especially in New Delhi at intersections. I have so much respect for them. The acceptance of this group in Indian society really increased my respect for the country of India ❤️🇮🇳. How is their position in Indian society? Does it vary by region?
