What Hari Maa said about her family
Speaking with Femori, a few years ago, she had said, “I was told we come after the men, so we are not allowed to discuss our heart. We could not eat first, were not allowed to sit on the dining table with my father or brother or any elder. I used to watch from the corner of the kitchen or used to sleep without eating, keeping the anger inside. I got scolded and tortured, beaten up for the mistakes I had never done…I was very sure that I have to leave this place where I was not treated as a human, where there was no love, no respect, no serving, no space to show my heart. My family never told me they love me, they were always ashamed that I am girl…”
