Synopsis : Mookambika, our protagonist is a victim of Child marriage, the social custom prevalent in India. Having been widowed even before she could attain puberty, she was disfigured as per the custom in those days and confined to the four walls of the house so as to curtail her social interaction. The solitude resulting from the disconnection with the world outside coupled with her innate sensitivity helps her develop the power of extra-sensory perception. She tries to question with her rationale, the barbarism of the civilized society and is labeled a lunatic for doing so. She is punished violently when she tries to assert her right to civility. She chooses silence as a mark of her protest against the uncivilized behavior of the society. Thus Mookambika eventually comes to be known as Mookajji.
