In this final
visit to Jitvapur, we discover why Vijay the Brahmin priest thinks that the
old order is still the best. We
also meet two women widowed when they were only thirteen years old and visit
the project that's trying to help them earn their own living, recover their
self respect and fight for the right to rejoin society.
