Gaane bajane walo ki Awam me izzat thi hi kab?

Re: Meerasi?

But literal meaning of word 'Meerasi' suggests something else

Re: Meerasi?

What is the meaning?

Re: Meerasi?

Re: Meerasi?

You mean bhaand

Re: Meerasi?

Bhaand mirasi ek he cheez hai ...

Re: Meerasi?

I think Meerasi is basically related to music, whereas Bhands are Jugat baaz. nahi?

Re: Meerasi?

Kabhe kabhe Jugat bazo ko mirasi bhe kehtay hai .....Meerasis dance too .....

Re: Meerasi?

Isn't dancing people called in typical Punjabi as 'Kanjar' or 'Kanjri'

Re: Meerasi?

Bhaand are a bit different, they used to visit marriages and do juggat baazi. Mirasi, I am not really sure now as in my town there used to be some mirasi, and I am sure they are not related with dancing/singing now. Maybe before they might have been part of that industry.

Re: Meerasi?

Toba uncle, aap ne to apni PhD ka muakalma pesh kar dia

Re: Meerasi?

:emmy: Kanjri is not equal to Tawaif as misconstrued now. If it was so, why would have Bulleh Shah siad ‘Nach Nach ke yaar manawa ga, Pawen kanjri bunena pei jawe’. Kanjri is only dancing girl
