Talk:Tawaif

Tawaif
"A tawaif is a woman of grace. She dances like a dream and, unlike a sex worker, is skilled." Who says sex workers aren't skilled? Maybe I just don't like the sentence structure... 131.107.0.112 (talk) 18:53, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

No Rivisionism: do not rewrite history
South Asia does not exist in the source, hence I am replacing it with what the source says (India). South Asia is a new term pushed by Pakistanis and western "multiculturalism" appeasers, this term did not exist at the time of Taiwaif during mughal era or British Raj. Don't try to rewrite history with conjectures, synthesis and cooking up new terms. Only use the terms apt for that era. Pakistan and South Asia did not exist when taiwaif were mainstream. 202.156.182.84 (talk) 05:48, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
