About the Book: The Widow Of Vrindavan
All Tapasi ever wanted was to study hard and clear her exams... Instead, she is
trapped into marriage with an impotent old man by Jatin Da and Kanika Di whom
she trusted. Widowed a few months later, she is brought to Vrindavan—Indias
dumping ground for unwanted widows. Shorn of her identity and self respect, she
becomes a helpless inmate of Ambika Devis ashram where the widows subsist on two
rotis, two dhotis and six hours of jaap at a temple. Tapasi, with other starving
widows, wonders how Lord Krishna could be so indifferent to their sufferings?
