She stood still like a stone…. Trying to absorb what just
happened.
She looked at them down at her feet… lying helpless… lifeless…
but she felt indifferent today.
These were the very people who dared to violate her…
repeatedly… day after day… was it her fault that she was born in a family of laborer
and them in a higher caste?
She didn’t think of consequences today… she didn’t trust in
the police anymore… she took reigns in her own hands when they pounced on her
today… it was not the sickle, she realized she got the power from her courage…
from her want to lead a life of dignity.
Standing alone in the rain
today, she felt calm, she felt the almighty washing away the dirt… she felt
pure again.
