Before they were branded as sex workers and forced into wilderness, India’s courtesans were a big part of the local culture. They even helped India fight against colonial tyranny.

Some people are blaming Britishers it's for them Britishers didn't ask Indian men to go to sex workers ...don't blame anyone without reason, if u know abt devdasi system then u won't blame others bcoz it was started by Indian preachers in temples .. selecting some poor girl as order from so called god next physical abusing them ..this was done by top section men of that village...how sad n stupid culture was made may b still such things happen in many places of India no doubt.

Another truth hidden behind the content....no matter what you call them or the british call them these poor women were subjected to casteism by the hindu sanatam dharma... and were not equal to the upper caste hindu's so they used these women for their lust and desires and entertainment...shame on you brut india for not showing the real side of it and what they were at the end of the day and how they were treated etc.....

HOW SEX CHANGED THE WORLD airee on History channel exposed how catholic church organisation or any other western popes used to have a share of earnings from brothels. So their mindset had to move into india with britishers. They had a chance to turn courtesans into prostitutes for money. Brits r known for their shrewd diplomatic minds. It took a toll on entire generation of courtesans. Also hadnt the britian invaded,the courtesans wouldnt have survived either ways due to utter traditional and malign male domination in the country. As evident from the fuck sake respect and safety of Indian women today. Courtesans wouldnt have been forgiven though.
