And the Vajrayana - the Tantric Tradition of Buddhism which included the marginalized, lower caste suppressed women with a lot of resistance and the result was the mystic Charyapad. Yogini is a lyrical expression of those fearless, sharp women's minds, bodies, desires, wishes, circumstances, and their honesty to themselves which even after so many years is relevant today, amidst the social Patriarchal system which wants to regulate them in the name of culture and tradition. It is an eye-opening effort that elucidates the struggles of these women since Indian history is not always taught throughout the world.
