needs". Jogini is a regional name for the term Devdasi and it is already mentioned in the current wiki article - "Devadasis were also known as jogini, venkatasani, nailis, muralis, and theradiyan". If the concern is that we don't have non-news sources then please raise it in Talk before removing the otherwise accurate statement outright. Also, please help fill in gaps by adding sources if you have any.

As part of the ritual, girls are dressed as brides and once the ceremony was over, their dresses are removed by five boys, virtually leaving them naked.". 1513:. You need to stop citing sources that depend on the accounts of activists. You still haven't provided any justification that how this 'crime' is any different than any other 'crime' which occurs even after being banned. You should also tell that how this profession is different than any other profession where 'sexual exploitation' does not happen. Again, see 1341:. The argument says that Devadasi system is not confined to a particular caste. Unlike Jogins, the Devadasis are not treated as untouchables. The doors of every temple ( both great and little tradition ) are open to them. They have, in fact, been honoured in the public in the past, and even offered seats alongside the figures of royalty." 1385:
I have added 2 more citations for the claim - one from a scholarly source and one from another mainstream publication. Both use the term "Devadasi" for the specific instances and statistics of sexual exploitation they are talking about. This is just to reiterate that the statement does not meet the criteria for

Should the article include a statement on the fact that there are several reports on the sexual exploitation of Devadasis and them being forced into prostitution in the modern era. Previously included statement on this that has been reverted - "But there are reports they are sexually exploited by the

Firstly - there was no broad generalisation in the statement itself - it talked about reports of Devadasis being sexually exploited. Secondly The Print report also has the following sentence in it - "In the early days, the primary duty of a jogini — also known as ‘devadasi’ and considered property of

Again, current information on the page does not seem to distinguish between the two systems. If you have good sources (like you have shared) then please add those clarifications. In the mainstream however for purposes of the claim both the systems are same and that is reflected in the language used.

apply here given that the claims are present in multiple mainstream sources? Of course if you want more sources can be added to support the points. Moreover the claim never was that they have always been exploited like this so I don't see how the history of the practice applies to it - the statement
1418:
I agree with Srijanx22. Unless you have sources that confirm that there are cases where the girls are working as 'devadasi' and also indulging in prostitution, then only you should come up with them. Instead of relying on sources which say "daughters into prostitution, insisting that it is part of
1232:
First report quotes "The devdasi system is a form of open prostitution" and second report "‘jogini’, or the victim of an illegal practice that pushes women into sex slavery under the veil of faith" and "Men of all age groups call us names and say our whole life is about taking care of their sexual
1433:
I did exactly that. All the reports (4 of them) linked are explicit in the statement that these girls working as Devadasis were also pushed into prostitution and were exploited sexually. The Hindu one also mentions how sexual exploitation is part of the initiation ritual itself - "The practice of
1583:
What you claim to be a more reliable source (you only provided one relevant to current discussion) is only stating that the generic term Devadasi should not be confused with the term Jogini because Joginis refers to a particular group that is confined to a particular caste. That however does not
1445:
Even the research paper cited does the same "The paper focuses on female devadasi temple prostitutes (Child sex workers but popularly understood as temple prostitutes in the name of dedication to deity) children in South India and the provision of support to integrate devadasi girls into the

And that is completely false, because "during the colonial period, the British outlawed their activities. They got beaten up, arrested, locked up and brutalisation continued. This dried up their traditional source of livelihood, and women had no choice. They ended up in prostitution"., per

the community`s tradition", and "people dedicate their daughters to the system in the name of appeasing the gods". This is far from a confirmed case of "devadasi" but prostitution where someone is somehow trying to relate to Devadasi without having any clear affiliation.

Human Rights Watch also uses the same terminology. If you are suggesting that the systems are indeed unlinked (enough to make the statement in question inaccurate) - then suggest a fix. Please consider all the counter evidence I have presented - all from the mainstream.

is clearly about "modern times". If you think the positioning of the statement is incorrect then please suggest a more appropriate location. The reason for putting it at the end of the lead is because it is the most "recent" discussion/reporting around the subject.
1592:- the statement was an apt summary of what all the cited sources were claiming and all the cited sources were from mainstream media + 1 research paper. Since we are basically at an impasse regarding this I am raising an RfC for uninvolved editors to weigh in. 1437:
The article from The Print is also explicit in the claim that they are sexually exploited - "According to D’Souza, due to the constant sexual abuse, joginis are three times more prone to getting HIV than other women, and 10 times more likely to die from
1184:
I saw that the information was removed with the claim that it was "irrelevant for lead, and cherrypicking". Please discuss this first before removing it - the information was sourced from news reports and had been modified by multiple editors already.
1584:
counter the 4 separate articles cited in the claim originally as they are each talking about different groups of Devadasis in different states. The research paper itself is talking about all Devadasis. You have not specified how the edit is violating
1648: 1268:. You have still not addressed how your sources support that "there are reports they are sexually exploited by the community in modern times". I am not going to 'fill in gaps' for your problematic edits. Are you claiming that it is 1829: 956: 1473:
The Print as already mentioned is talking about Jogini, not Devadasi. The examples you cited are from South India and they do not represent thousands of Devadasi, thus your broad generalization of devadasis is misleading.
1441:
The article from Zee News does the same "She and her three sisters, who were dedicated to the temple, are all now in trade. She, presently, lives with her three sons and a daughter and practices prostitution."

It does, because your claims are false and don't match the scholarly view on the subject. Your confusion of "Jogini" with "Devadasi" also tells that you are not aware of the meaning of these terms. Read
