Red Fairy n the Holy Ghost

A story of oppression and violation of human rights as seen through the lives of women who have faced unimaginable brutality and humiliation in life, yet emerge as winners. Lower caste and tribal women in India, whose individuality and exercising of rights causes them to be branded as “witches,” suffer the horrible ignominy of being paraded naked, thrashed, forced to drink urine and eat human excreta. Braving the social stigma, one woman, Chhutni Mahtain – who was the first to go public about her humiliation and shame – publicly fights against this discrimination, waging her own battle and a war for others like her. An exceptional story of brutality and human triumph.
