Pangulgada By Ranjeet Desai

“…My husband was in the army, far away from home. But it never struck me that he could be boozing out there, or doing things even worse! I could see only the fire of the battlefield…Continual worry..!” But in this world, it takes hardly any time for a woman to be labeled as ‘fallen’. It only takes some gossip by a washer-man for our Ramchandras to abandon their pregnant Sitas..! A physically handicapped person can walk after an operation or with the aid of a walking stick; but if someone were to become paralyzed mentally, who can help him? – This is the harsh reality of life.
