The Courtesans of Ancient India | History & Heeramandi

Enjoying the popular TV show, Heeramandi? Then you know that courtesans have played an important role in Indian history, but are often overlooked and misunderstood. This is a brief introduction into courtesan culture in ancient and medieval India -- and the influence that courtesans had. I've also attempted to dive into some related subjects, like birth control methodologies for courtesans and their clients.

Enjoy!
