should not be perceived through anecdotal historical debate references b/w Muthulakshmireddy, Sathyamurthy Iyer/figures from past.There needs to be analysis of the repercussions on formerly courtesan castes today!

What has criminalisation done to the psyche of women from these castes? How was the reform carried out? Were there reparative and rehabilitative measures or safe spaces for women to pursue the art? Or were they simply erased or pushed to live in the margins?
How are people from these castes treated today in the caste ordained society?Stigma and persecution is very much part of the lives of most persons from these caste backgrounds. Do we discuss intergenerational trauma and social ostracisation that continues to be part of our lives?
Also one needs to study the lives of successful personalities from these caste locations , especially those who disclosed their caste identities. It's no secret that they suffered shaming and mocking by peers and competitors for their caste background .
