Lajja is a journey...From the opulent city of New York to a remote village in
Uttar Pradesh...From the adobe of the rich, to the corner of poor...From the
silence of a martyr to the outcry of a rebel...A journey that is unified by an
astonishing discovery that a woman, wherever, whenever, has to face
mankind at its heniour worst.As the journey extends so does the intensity of her
misery...Why is Vaidehi's womb the only weapon to fight the atrocities that she
has to face?Why should Maithili's head humiliatingly bend, just because she is a
daughter? Why must society mercilessly crush Jank's desire to live on her own
terms? Why is it that silence follows, when Ramdulaari is gangraped and left to
flames? As these questions emerge, they bring with them, an indigance, a
resolve, a power...To stand up, to revolt to combat! When Tears Stop...A Revolution Begins.
