Plot
:The year is 1938, India is ruled by the British, and it is around this
time that Mohandas K. Gandhi has arrived from Africa to begin his tryst with the
British, as well as battle the traditions that bind the Hindus. Not yet in her
teens, Chuyia is married to a much older and sickly male, who shortly after the
marriage, passes away. Chuyia is returned unceremoniously to her parents' house,
and from there she is taken to the holy city of Banaras and left in the care of
a wide assortment of widows who live at "the widows' house," shunned by the rest
of the community. Chuyia believes that her mother will come to take her home.
Here she meets several elderly women, including the head of the house, Madhumati;
a quiet, confident woman named Shakuntala; and a gorgeous young woman named
Kalyani -- all widows. Chuyia does not know that according to Holy Hindu
Scriptures she has been destined to live here for the rest of her life, for when
a woman's husband dies', she has three options: One, to marry her husband's
younger brother, if his family permits; two, to kill herself on his funeral
pyre; three, to live a life of celibacy, discipline, and solitude amongst her
own kind. A new law in India which permits a widow to re-marry is not popular,
and it is these customs and openly welcoming the lower castes that will pit
Gandhiji against his very own people, apart from struggling with the British to
leave India. Kalyani meets and falls in love with young Narayan, a follower of
Mahatma Gandhi, who wants to marry her, despite his mother's protests. The
question remains, can Kalyani marry the man she loves? Will he still want to
marry her when he knows everything about her? And is Chuyia destined to live the
rest of her life as a widow among shunned widows? |
