"Everyman loves us, but nobody marries us...
Many embrace us, but no one protects us...
If I were to tell you our life story beneath a tree,
the leaves will start falling like tears...
(Dunno if I can unquote here)
- A Devdasi to William Dalrymple, an author of Nine Lives-Encounters with the Holy in Modern India
