Shame (in Maratí)
Sanghera, Jasvinder
Synopsis "Shame (in Maratí)"
WHEN SHE WAS FOURTEEN, JASVINDER SANGHERA WAS SHOWN A PHOTO OF THE MAN CHOSEN TO BE HER HUSBAND. SHE WAS TERRIFIED. SHE'D WITNESSED THE TORMENT HER SISTERS ENDURED IN THEIR ARRANGED MARRIAGES, SO SHE RAN AWAY FROM HOME, GRIEF-STRICKEN WHEN HER PARENTS DISOWNED HER. SHAME IS THE HEART-RENDING TRUE STORY OF A YOUNG GIRL'S ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM A CRUEL, CLAUSTROPHOBIC WORLD WHERE FAMILY HONOUR MATTERED MORE THAN ANYTHING - SOMETIMES MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF. JASVINDER'S STORY IS ONE OF TERRIBLE OPPRESSION, A HARROWING STRUGGLE AGAINST A PUNITIVE CODE OF HONOUR - AND, FINALLY, TRIUMPH OVER ADVERSITY. ''तू आम्हाला मेलीस... तू आम्हाला मेलीस... मेलीस.'' जन्मदात्या आईबापांनी मला स्वत पासून कायमचं तोडून टाकावं, एवढा भयंकर अपराध खरोखरच घडला होता का माझ्या हातून? त्यांचा माझ्याविषयीचा जिव्हाळा करपून गेला होता? माझ्या अवघ्या आयुष्याची आहुती देण्याइतका मोठा आहे का हा गुन्हा...?
