| A rural low-caste woman, working at Rajasthan Government woman's development called "Saathin", is gang-raped by upper-cast men in her village when she speaks up against the present custom of child marriages. Instead of hanging her head in shame as she was expected to do, she decides to knock the doors of justice. Her real rape begins when she is made to run from pillar to post in a judicial system corrupted by sexism, chauvinism, feudalism and political opportunism. Caught in the game between the ruling party's central government and the opposition party's State government she is put on a pedestal by one party, and thrown stones at, by the other. Against all odds, she maintains her dignity and courage as a woman. It is a shocking but true story, set admist the picturesque sand dunes of colorful contemporary Rajasthan. |
