Society’s biggest hypocrisy is not sin itself — it is how we treat the sinner, especially when the sinner is a woman.
Words like “Tawaif” or “Kanjri” are used as insults in our society, yet the same so-called “respectable people” who publicly condemn such women are often the very ones who secretly keep that system alive behind closed doors.
In daylight, they call her impure.
At night, they become prisoners of the same beauty, the same gatherings, and the same doors they pretend to hate.
This society is full of contradictions.
The men who visit those places for their desires wake up the next morning as “honorable gentlemen” again. But the woman — often pushed into that life by poverty, helplessness, abuse, or circumstances — is branded with shame for the rest of her life.
History is witness that these markets were never built by women alone.
They were sustained by powerful, wealthy, and “respectable” men who funded them, protected them, and benefited from them.
When society calls a woman “Kanjri,” it is often hiding its own collective failure — the failure to provide dignity, safety, education, and honorable opportunities to vulnerable women.
“A tawaif may sell her body, but many so-called respectable people sell their conscience, morality, and humanity every single day.”
Everyone watches the woman dancing in the room, but nobody questions the audience that bought the ticket to watch her. Those men continue to walk proudly in society as respected fathers, brothers, husbands, officers, and leaders.
If moral corruption is not just physical exploitation, but also lies, hypocrisy, bribery, oppression, exploitation of the poor, and playing with people’s dignity — then perhaps we should ask:
Who is the real disgrace?
The helpless woman surviving inside four walls?
Or the “respectable” people destroying society while wearing the mask of honor?
This is not a defense of wrongdoing.
It is a question against a mindset that only punishes the weak while protecting the powerful.
Until society learns to confront its own hypocrisy, these women will remain a living slap on the face of those “respectable” people who helped create the very darkness they publicly condemn.
