In my view Bhakti Movement which originated from South India was one of the most positive event in Indian History from women's perspective. This Bhakti Movement made considerable progress during the rule of Vijayanagara Empire.
wow... never thought of it that way...
Ig then bashing patriarchy isn't invented by us, it is an ongoing fight...
Wow. That's a complete different perspective. Love it
That lucknow b*tch didn't even get arrested. Women can harass any men and walk free. Meanwhile some b*tches like SWADDLE say this is a male dominant society 😡
This gets very beautiful when she said "Do you think I am without my beloved?" Their closest emotional relationships were among themselves. Lol they fooled us into thinking that they are dying for men actually that's their professionalism.
My goodness it was so beautiful to watch
That was 🔥🔥👌👌👌.
This is amazing 👏
Wow!
Very informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing such things.

I’m always happy to see a courtesan themed video. So fascinating!
Why does watching courtesans make you happy? Just curious.
May be we all feel that pain once or more times in our lifetime. Our longing for becoming free may be for a fraction of that time makes us love them.
Please do a video on Begum samroo. Very less is known about her...
1:00 Of course they do.
👍🏻👍🏻
What a video !!! Awesome 😎
The queens of awadh..
Beautiful narration!

Yea
@@mensrightsmovement758 Wat is wrong with you
Test
And the way our Hindi films portray courtesans 😑
Fuck yes 💪🏽
There are more than 7-8 crores unmarried women even in this patriarchal society... How come??🤔
She is saying in the video itself that unmarried women are there but name calling, society pressure coexist with them.
@@MyJagriti watch 2:15... No in today's india, many women have choosen not to be married. But she said this is not possible in a patriarchal society. But the fact that there are unmarried women contradicts what she said.. And you are blind if you don't verify her statement with the fact.
Because now more women are educated and financially independent.
@@EagleOverTheSea Then why is she talking about it at 2:15... This is of course not happening in today's india.
@@ultimatetruth4156 Yeah man! UP is just messed up! The hathras case, the uber driver case , lakhimpur case... People didn't vote Yogi for this shit! Its an eye opener. People of UP should choose wisely now!
I don't agree with alot of what's said in this video. Specially about Marriage, It is the worst social norm for men. Practice of marriage is for kid not for men or women because two parents household are best for offspring. Just a bullshit ideology stop this nonsense about patriarchy, Society as whole has benefited for its security and development.
NO MARRIAGE = NO ALIMONY 😘😘😆
Yaa no don't marry, who's stopping you?!!
She gave a vague politically correct answer and the lady like a naive person bought into it. The question clearly was that if she wanted to LOVE A MAN did she have the freedom to do so? The answer clearly is a NO. They sacrificed this freedom for the bondage they were under. How can one not see the courtesan culture as a demeaning one. They were looked upon as objects and were paraded around to places.
@@cristatus514 No woman too like share their men with others. Not sure what the channel wants to show.
I dont think so... Love is not always heterosexual....... And a woman who want to live her life with complete independence and without any kind of boundaries... Willl definitely choose to be with other women.... Because no matter what she can and will achieve if she will live with a men like father brother husband... Thennnn sheeeee willll get treated as subordinate..... By one way or the other... You can't resist this.... That's for sure
@@NehaSingh-tj8ng Statistically speaking MOST people are hetrosexual. My statement refers to MOST people. A women in that profession would not be in a position to choose a Man and thats a limitation.
@@jonron3805 sorry to say but it's really tickle me off... When you said they don't have an option to choose men... I mean how many of us.. And our known relatives.(female) are actually living with the male whome they choose may be 10% that's it... And even from that 10% ... 90% are facing social boycott by their own family caste religion etc etc...
@@jonron3805 I know things are changing... But if you go back just 20 years of the time... You will come to know that what I'm saying was true.. In today's time yess girls can reject the male... But even today she can marry a men from a group of males who are selected by their parents.. I mean this is not what we called choose... It's called option.....i mean it's same as in today's time majority of parent's give freedom to their kids to have either engineering or medical... 😀😀 ... You have freedom but in certain limit... Limit which was decided by them
So true.
