Chapter 9- Tawaifs and Modern Dancing
In this episode, I am in conversation with my friend Ayesha Firoze who is a brilliant school teacher and an extra ordinary dancer. Together we discuss the stigma behind dance within the South Asian Muslim community and where it may have rooted from. We explore the art and works of Tawaifs during the Mughal era which eventually became a dying profession during the British Empire ruling.
