my paati was a devdasi
tanjore dasi parambarai
recognised for their dancing singing skills
earmarked in temples for devoted activities
(deliberateley) misrecognised by british and a few misguided indian puritans
branded as —–
without any other skills or monetary or social support
a few had no other recourse-thus reinforcing the popular perception/
dance went onto ignominy
(later revived with the efforts of weel meaning art patrons)
i am educated well versed in social behaviour and in a well paying career
but the syigma persists in a subtle manner when marriage is discused
