The individuals from the past are depicted in attire specific to their respective time periods, showcasing their unique cultural identities.

 They compare and contrast their experiences with those of the present time, highlighting the progress made in areas such as human rights and social justice. This dialogue is essential for fostering empathy, understanding, and appreciating the progress achieved over time.The characters seen in the drawing are a buddhist nun who is on the left besides her is a wine pourer, following to him is a 21st century bisexual girl,then a women from a period 300 years ago and finally a khawaja sara on the right.how some of the characters in my story were forced to be in acertain way which they were not originally like the wine pourer and Khwaja-saras were forcefully castrated for their respective roles and all of them are talking about their things respectively to each other.And now that it's 21st century they all think how the world has changed now and people's perspective are different from the past times for the third gendered people.
