At Tulsipur,

"Anirudh Dada, why do you want to come to my school. I'm not that little Som; you think of me. I'm 16 years old Somnath it my last year of School. I don't need you to drop me." Somnath stated unable to make any sense of Anirudh's sudden interest for dropping him off.

"I know, but I just want to see the first British school of our village Tulsipur from insides. When I was here there wasn't any. I used to do homeschooling for English." Anirudh justified the reason, even though it wasn't true fully.

"Saurabh, you remember two days ago what you said to me." Anirudh asked after finishing his lunch.

"What are you asking about Anirudh Babu. There were many things," Saurabh replied confused as he washed his hands.

"When I told you about the letter, you said Bondita's Baba taught her reading and writing but Sampoorna Boudi don't even know how to write own name. And not only she there are many women like her, who hadn't learnt even our mother tongue Bangla." Anirudh reminded Saurabh.

"Ha, I remember. It's true Anirudh Babu. Even though it sometimes feels like the problem as when one time I wanted Sampoorna to write a letter to me when I went out of town, she wasn't able to write without help of any male involved. Thus, she couldn't. Also, many times some shopkeepers also take advantage of their lack of calculations. Not only women there are many men out there who don't understand the interest rates and have to pay more than the actual amount they took for loan. But what can we do, the number is too much one can handle." Saurabh sighed at the situation.

"No Saurabh, what you are feeling is really true. Today I went to Somnath's school. And I didn't find any girl there in the premises. You know in London there were many girls studying to be Barristers also many with different branches of degree like literature and others. I think we can talk about this to our Bramo Samaj members team working in Kolkatta." Anirudh said as he thought about the people who really thought about injustice to women. Who wanted to give them equal rights.

At HeeraMandi,

" Munmun, Why are you calling me Munmun. I said my name is Bondita. You can call me that Kaki." Bondita tried to clarify the older women thinking maybe she mistook her name as something else.

"I know little girl, and don't call me Kaki. Call me Baaji. You know this is my mahal, Noormahal. Heeramandi's most famous brothel. And every new girl who comes here to stay is given a new name. As you are new here your new name will be 'MUNMUN'. Understand." Said the owner lady of noormahal.

"You mean to say like we do with newborn babies, as we perform naming ceremonies. And What is a Brothel Baaji. Also, what is the problem with Bondita. I like my name. I don't want to change it." Bondit questioned and lastly denied having a new name for herself.

Hey, my lovely readers, I can see many of my loyal readers do vote, but there are various silent readers who don't. Please can you all just one time think from my perspective. It won't cost more than a few clicks, but it makes the day of those who try their best to write something they think you all would like. And even after having hundreds of reads the votes aren't even a quarter part of it.

So, here is the new sneak peak of upcoming chapter, hope you would like to have.
