[00:00:06]When you hear the word, what do you imagine? Sacred woman dedicated to the temples or victims of exploitation? What if I tell you the truth is even more complicated? Imagine when temples were not just places of worship but centers of art, literature and sacred knowledge.

[00:00:25]And the Dvidasis they were not just dancers but they were scholars, poets, musicians and skilled sacred dancers.

[00:00:35]Performance group ancient times held immense status.

[00:00:43]They were educated, respected and independent.

[00:00:52]where a woman is respected there the god abides when we will understand this but then who was responsible for their erasia you know the Britishers Britishers saw dvidasis through a western moral lens and labeled them as immoral missionaries actively campaigned to abolish their practices in the temples and tagged them as sinful practices but a Shocking thing was what did the elite Indians do support once they used to worship them and now they abandoned them and the Britishers made sure that their respect shall be put down and in the society their respect from independent educated women felt down to women of questionable character. Were British women jealous of Dvdasi's? British women saw DV Dasi as a contradiction while European women had little freedom. Dv Dasis were educated, independent and artistically gifted. But these European women saw that as a threat to their identity. They called DV Dasi as the seductive woman. And they said these practices should be banned because it's a threat to the society. With no patrons, no temple support. Also society many were pushed to brothel. Temples in which they used to reside were banned and shut down and bit by bit their existence was erased from the history.

[00:02:22]True legacy. We do not know how powerful a woman can be. Dvadasis were erased, silenced and rewritten into shame. But will we let them be forgotten? So tell me, were Dvdasi the divine woman or history erased them to nothing but a scandal? For more such information follow that classical nitya.
