This book explores lives and livelihood of Devdasis in Maharashtra, India. Though Devdasi has been termed as the Servant of the God and having no legal husband as such, on the other hand Devdasi exploited on a massive level. Hindu system has given secondary status and compared them with the animals. Devdasis in current times belong to Dalit community, and treated inhumanly by rest of the society because of marginalized caste and their profession. This book would be useful for social sciences students and everyone who wanted to deepen their knowledge about Indian society.
