Hahahaha. The "Chukkas" (Eunuchs) are primarily known from going house to house, asking for donations. Else they curse you.

They often make a living on tips for dancing at weddings and blessing newborn babies, and are believed to be stubborn and not take no for an answer.

This is true. A tradition is that they come around to homes with newborn babies and bless the kids, sing songs, clap their hands (all fingers spread out, a trademarked 'gang sign'). If they are not allowed to do so, again, they curse you. Letting the "Chukkas" bless your kids in some areas is considered auspicious since it protects the kids against evil intentions of others (bad 'nazar' - evil looks).
Most normal people pay them off cause they're just a nuisance and damn annoying. Having a dog at your home keeps them at bay. They generally won't enter the gate of your house and if you ignore them long enough, they moved along to the next one.
