  • Summary

  • If you walk into any government office anywhere around the world you will always find a framed photo of a national leader. Well - if you were to walk into any brothel in the Mumbai red light district you will find, in every room a framed photo of a woman - an elderly, grey haired woman in a white sari edged with a gold border. No, she is not a saint. This was Gangubai, one of the most powerful madams in her time. But why, 50 years after her death, does every Mumabi sex worker have Gangubai’s photo in her room?

Great story

A great way to learn about different culture and easy to listen to. The content was very interesting and the author told the story in a way that kept my attention. Loved that she told the meaning of different things in the form of a break.
