Thirty years ago, in a remote village in India lived Ilaa. Her family were cotton farmers and that was the major occupation of the whole village. All was going well for Ilaa, until something drastic happens and she is left as the sole breadwinner in her family. But can she actually earn to feed her family in this male dominated society. Ilaa has so many obstacles in her way, but they say " You don't know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have." This is Ilaa's story, a feisty young woman who doesn't give up, come hell or high water. Note- This is a story set in a remote village in India in the 80's. The society and the mentality of the people is sexist and male chauvinist, but it was not uncommon during that time. This is a one-shot.

But the fact is that No ethical jurisprudence, religious beliefs or community legislation aggrandise chauvinism. The only thing that lifts inhumanity in the form of Chauvinism is some Norms, Traditions, Rituals and stereotypes, which are created by all mentally-visually impaired human beings no matter whether they are Women or Men. This Narrative illuminates the Life of Two individuals who are encapsulated in the sphere of Praxis which is called CHILD-MARRIAGE.
