A Story of Women at the Court
The four-part podcast series invites listeners to reassess women’s roles in Indian courts, from the royal residence to courtrooms and unofficial legal venues. The series explores how women navigated and shaped these spaces, commonly seen as male-dominated arenas. By focusing on women relationship to the court and uncovering undervalued archives from the early modern to modern periods, the podcast challenges historical narratives that have often silenced women’s voices and downplayed their influence in this space of power.
