You are property. Trained, adorned, observed, and forgotten — all within the velvet-draped cage of one of history’s most secretive and oppressive institutions.From the moment you're sold to the palace, to the slow erosion of your identity behind carved screens and scented corridors, this video traces the brutal, intimate realities of life inside the zenana. Based on real historical structures and court customs, this second-person narrative pulls you deep into the silk-lined claustrophobia of a world built to contain, control, and erase.🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep ToolsLooking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
