This excellently shows the despotic rule. How women (especially of lower strata) were exploited by temple priests for lust, solely. All this under the garb of tradition and culture. Even today, anything and everything becomes pious under the garb of ancestral tradition despite the glaring facts of suffocation and gloom that it brings on the victims. Mutual consent is of utmost importance in a sexual intercourse or any kind of relationship !!!! Thank you for portraying the truth at least now.

Wrong costume for 200 years ago, especially for Devadasi. They did not wear pinvosuvam sari, we know that from murals. They also wore ravike/choli. We can see this on paintings and murals from 16th century temples. Plus, we also have vijayanagara empire eye-witness accounts on what they looked like, how they dressed and how they lived from Portuguese travellers. This documentary is poorly researched in terms of costume.

The marvel should be otherwise, namely that women of such a profession should obtain such wealth; but there are women among them who have lands that have been given to them, and litters, and so many maid-servants that one cannot number all their things. There is a woman in this city who is said to have a hundred thousand pardaos, and I believe this from what I have seen of them." - "all girls born of these women belong to the temple. These women are of loose character, and live in the best streets that there are in the city; it is the same in all their cities, their streets have the best rows of houses They are very much esteemed, and are classed amongst those honoured ones who are the mistresses of the captains; any respectable man may go to their houses without any blame attaching thereto.

Another westerner romanticising an evil- an evil perpetrated in the name of religion. There is no difference between those who claim that Hijab worn by Muslim women under religious compulsion is a sign of female empowerment and emancipation. The ritual prostitution was foisted on the poor and marginalised castes and never practised by the upper castes. The victims were initiated when they were mere children. There was no element of choice. Only a callous and ignorant person can ever hold a brief for this cruel institution.

This tradition only started during the bloody Krishnadevarayar era..Nayaka..Marathi...Muslim rulings.. Because the "pottukattuthal" tradition only belongs to the Vaduga desa (Karnataka, Andhra pradesh and Maharasthra). Tamilians/Malayalies whether brahmin or non brahmin they don't wear "pottu/bottu thaali" Thanks to the British Raj, Dr.Muthulakshmi, Kundrakudi Adigalar...etc stood firm on abolishing this filthy practice. Earlier era this tevadiyaar tradition was purely based on women's freedom of choice on renunciating the materialistic life and devoted to the spiritual path, they were highly educated and professionals, not engaging in sexual or illicit activities. Later these filthy kings, kings men, heads, priest were abusing..exploiting them... anywhere...those heinous beasts also eventually fall down and consumed by worms. I am also hailed from the brahmin community, I condemn and curse those bastards reborn in pathetic state and suffers in deeper misery.

This short film is full of flaws and misinformation. It has a biased British approach towards the Dēvadāsi system. 1. Such young girls were not initiated as dēvadāsis. The texts mention that she should be a Ṣoḍaśī or prāptā rajasvalā trayī, meaning either a sixteen-year-old or three years must have past her puberty. 2. A brahmin, especially a temple priest could not copulate with her. Usually, the patrons of dēvadāsis were from the noble or the merchant class i.e. mantrivarga or vartakavarga. 3. The dēvadāsis neither did errands like drawing water from the well and serve food for the priestly class nor did they reside in the temple premises. Their responsibility was only to take care of rańgabhōga in the temple. They lived in their residences in the vicinity of the temple and practiced their art forms. They also maintained the temple lamps of the festive occasions. The only fact shown in this film is that they danced in front of the deity. To understand the devadasi custom, one should read the inscriptions and various literary works. Dēvadāsis were an active part of the ancient society and they did command respect amongst the common masses. They were considered very divine and were invited to rituals and ceremonies and their blessing was sought. They also have participated in many philanthropist activities. They were very well-read and have composed many literary works. They have built / renovated many temples and towers. They have caused many tanks, lakes, wells and gardens. They have given generous donations. There are lakes and canals named after them. The water canal near Srirangapattana is named after a dēadāsi, Bangara Doddi. The second queen of Krishnadevaraya, Chinnadevi, hailed from a devadasi clan. She was the pioneer of Kuchupudi dance form. In the recent past Bangalore Nagarathnamma was a great woman who took prodigious pains and dedicated all her wealth for the construction of a samādhi to Thyagaraja swami, one of the musical trinities in Carnatic classical world. She also published a literary work composed by an earlier dēvadāsi to show the British people that dēvadāsis were not just prostitutes as understood by them. Many famous musicians of the first three decades of the 20th century feared and respected Veena Dhanammal who was also a devadasi. All these people never chided their identity as a dēvadāsi. In the northern part of India, it was during the Islamic invasions, when the temples were razed down that these dēvadāsis lost their patronage and were taken away as captives. When sustaining a temple itself became unthinkable how could the people involved with rites and rituals of a temple be protected. In the southern part of India, it was during the British period, who in the name of land survey abducted the temple lands, that these dēvadāsis were thrown to the streets. Their properties were confiscated in various mean ways and they were labelled as sex slaves in the temple complexes. This also suited their evangelistic agenda. They misinterpreted the entire devadasi custom as they did with other of our cultural aspects. Even if the film maker claims to have done extensive research, it is for sure they have not gone through the magnanimous epigraphical sources and literary works. They have just done something based on hear-say details.

What you think about nun in your highest educational community. When I am studying in my college,i meet so many nun means sisters,but they are not want to prayed to God as a sister. She want to her family back.but so sad no one listened her voices.
@lenalaxmi3 жыл бұрын
of course I believe, if person wants to go back to the family she should go back! and if family is truly loving her they should except her back! or if for some reason family dont want to except her back, she should create a family of her own! i hope it works out for best for your nun friend. no one should be there if they feel it is not their place.

@@lenalaxmi I really feel pity for those nuns. Even though they want to go back ,it is not possible to go back , family won't receive them , male dominant society don't receive them. They will be targeted by the christian missionaries if they tries to escape. These nuns know it very well that's why they don't go back . And you can't work out anything good for them. Being in kerala ,we read lot of nuns suicide , sexually exploited,but the police and government here don't take action because the missionaries are very powerful her and influencial as well.

How is it inspired by 'manusmriti'? Dont blabber. Read a law based paper regarding devadasi system, they say that it became a mode of prostitution after the temple funds were halted (around british era), the temple dancers were forced to take up prostitutionas they had no other means of living. When the temple is adequately funded, there was no need for prostitution, the devadasis in olden days were highly respected and treated very well more like priestesses.
