misogyny, female shame and the notion of honour' Observer
___________________ A masterly and agenda-setting inquest into how
the deaths of two teenage girls shone a light into the darkest
corners of a nation Katra Sadatganj. A tiny village in western
Uttar Pradesh. A community bounded by tradition and custom; where
young women are watched closely, and know what is expected of them.
It was an ordinary night when two girls, Padma and Lalli, went
missing. The next day, their bodies were found - hanging in the
orchard, their clothes muddied. In the ensuing months, the
investigation into their deaths would implode everything that their
small community held to be true, and instigated a national
conversation about sex, honour and violence. The Good Girls returns
to the scene of Padma and Lalli's short lives and shocking deaths,
daring to ask: what is the human cost of shame?
