Seema Anand is a  mythologist, a storyteller with a focus on women’s narratives and a specialty in the erotic literature of ancient India.

Seema believes that the narrative of the Kama Sutra was deliberately silenced. It was a brave book that tried to change the position of women in society, and was the first text to give women a platform of equality.

Her seminal work ‘The Arts of Seduction’, is a commentary on the metaphors and lost narratives of the Kama Sutra is an effort to reclaim the book for its intended purpose.

"And hence, I am giving you a compliment  that in spite of your grey hair, you look amazing. That you must have looked so much better when you were younger. And that's another unconscious bias that we automatically assume that youth is prettier. And I have to agree that youth is beautiful anyway, but to think that you looked better then is what I'm getting to."
