Was at a picnic last week where this Rajasthani troupe was performing. Dancing, singing, magic/puppet show, the works. There were these two women dancing off and on, even when people were doing their own thing and not really watching. It looked qute sad and exploitative to me.Then it so happened that we began dancing with one of them and had a fun time. After that, I asked her name and which of the men was her husband. To my utter surprise, she told me in fluent English that she was unmarried, a graduate and working in an IT firm. That this was a part time occupation! Happy Woman's Day !
