Vasant Tilaka was a courtesan no doubt but she was a highly cultured and compassionate woman. Though there was nothing extraordinary in Dhammil's relationship with Vasant Tilaka according to the standards of the age, soon they had to face much calumny and underhand manoeuvring by the jealous sections of the city's elite society. This ugly situation forced the families of Dhammil and Uppal to face many untoward consequences as a result.
