Informative piece. I knew much of this info. Yet every time i hear about Devdasi system it enrages me no end. Brahminism is the greatest curse on India.
There were three acts passed: the Karnataka Devadasis (Prohibition of Dedication) Act of 1982, Andhra Pradesh Devadasis (Prohibition of Dedication) Act of 1988, Maharashtra Devadasi System (Abolition) Act of 2005. However, these laws have not been very effective. Since the prostitution is religion sanctioned the effectiveness of any law is greatly compromised

Request ma'am videos hindi main bnaye .

There is some resonance in audio. I think if mic is kept closer or if curtains are used, the audio will be better.
Informative piece. I knew much of this info. Yet every time i hear about Devdasi system it enrages me no end. Brahminism is the greatest curse on India.
Absolutely agree on both, devadasi system is so inhumane. Can't believe it is sanctioned by religion too. Ugh
Madam your channel is real gold.
Great work
Thanks for bringing the devadasis out of the shadows

Informative video

Terribly heinous. Are there some legal judgements/cases under process seeking to ban this custom?

@@eyeshadowetihaaswithruchika 🤗
Implication of making videos in Hindi... more views,more supporters as well as haters......I think she is too radical for so called Hindi heart land
Was thighing Devdasis permitted?
