Author’s pov-

In this century, in this so-called modern life where cities shine with progress and people boast about equality, there still exist villages buried in the shadows of time. One such place is a small, forgotten village named Devipur. The name itself means “the land of the goddess,” yet there is nothing divine about it—especially for girls. Behind its mud walls and narrow lanes lies a cruel truth: in the year, when the world claims to have reached the stars, Devipur still treats daughters as nothing but burdens. Whispers of sorrow echo in every household; the birth of a girl is not celebrated with joy but mourned like a curse. It is as if time has stopped here, refusing to move forward, trapping the people—and especially the women—in chains they cannot break.
