The Last Suttee

By: Madhu Bazaz Wangu

As a nine-year-old, Kumud witnesses the brutal and horrifying suttee ritual when her beloved aunt immolates herself on the burning pyre of her dead husband. Years later, Kumud summons the courage to escape the isolated and primitive blue town to start a new life in Ambayu, a metropolitan city. She begins as an office help at Save Girls Soul Orphanage Center and progresses to become its director. At SGSO center she becomes warrior for women’s education and equal rights. She teaches young women to protect themselves from outmoded practices and rituals that victimize women. The phone call informs Kumud that a suttee of a sixteen-year-old is inevitable. She has vowed that she will never let it happen again. Still haunted by her aunt’s suttee, she leaves everything behind, including her love, Shekhar Roy, to end the barbaric custom that scarred her for life, and to save the young bride from committing suttee."--
