Join Devdutt Pattanaik in this insightful segment from AfterHours with All About Eve, as he delves into the fascinating world of courtesans and their significant role in Indian history and mythology. The conversation begins with Bani's thought-provoking question about the historical shift in women's roles from influential figures to objects of desire.

Devdutt explains the diverse experiences of women across different societal strata and regions, highlighting how property and economic conditions influenced their agency and social status. He pays particular attention to courtesans, revealing their dual roles as both cultural icons and businesswomen.

Discover how courtesans, despite being denied land ownership, wielded substantial power through mobile assets like jewellery and played crucial roles in music, dance, and hospitality. Learn about their pivotal contribution to the cultural and political fabric of India before British colonial rule aimed to diminish their influence. And how real-life courtesans were very different from the ones shown by Bollywood in series like Heeramandi.
