Much that we know about tawaifs comes from their depictions in popular culture. Be it Devdas’ Chandramukhi or Rekha’s Umrao Jaan, we have come to think of tawaifs simply as sensual seductresses. Their existence in these popular narratives is limited to only rousing either desire or pity in the audience’s heart. But the story of tawaifs is undeniably richer than that. In this Feminist Archive video, we take a look! #heeramandi #heeramandionnetflix #heeramandireview

Mira Nair's work "Kama Sutra" and the depiction of a courtesan made me feel more respectful towards them

That happens in swarg lok. The females are made to entertain the males. So when they came here, they continued.
