Title - Daughters of the brothel
Author - Deepak Yadav

Qotd - What do you think we can do to eliminate gender disparity on our levels?


The book talks about the alienated part of the society who are often mistreated and disrespected by the people who call themselves civilised. The author has described the history and present situation of prostitutes, and the various shameful ceremonies like nath Utara that are still prevalent in our country on the name of rituals.
The book started with the narrator meeting with Sharmila, an inch from the streets of Varanasi.
They talked about the problem faced by each society and the harsh realities of our society.
Author narrator the meeting with sex - workers of G. B. Road, Red light streets in Delhi. Some were ditched by their lovers and sold by them in the brothel.some were here because of the poverty.
Through this voyage within the walls of pleasurable cells, the writer learns that the G.B. road is an inexorable web...but only because the women trapped in it believe it to be so.
This book is showing the humane side of them which is often neglected by society. 

Kudos to the author to talk about the issue that is considered taboo in our society.
The cover of the book is reflecting the life in a brothel, a red light and women behind the bars.
Language is simple and easy to understand.
Title of the book is apt and give a clear understanding of what the book is a book. 


Grab this book to read about the neglected sections of the society. It will surely make you realise the harsh realities they face in their life. 

Recommended - highly.
