Documentary filmmaker and author Saba Dewan shares the untold stories of the courtesans in her debut book Tawaifnama
FROM the time she ideated the project, documentary filmmaker and author Saba Dewan was certain that in her first book, Tawaifnama, she wanted to give voice to the tawaifs or courtesans. She would not speak for them or on their behalf, and never presume that she understood them. “This book doesn’t fall into any genre. It’s an exchange of stories,” says Dewan, who spoke about the book at the Chandigarh Literature Festival.
