About The Book
Gahan Padleli Tekadi (A Hill Mortgaged) is a compelling collection of short stories that captures the essence of the lives of Adivasi women. Authored by Marija Sres, who lived with these women to understand their struggles, each story provides a deep insight into their lives, filled with raw emotions, challenges, and resilience. The stories offer a vivid portrayal of their personal battles against societal norms, oppression, and exploitation.
In Ithe Tar Nehemichach ("This is a Common Thing Here"), the story of Lali unfolds, a young woman who, despite her blossoming youth, falls prey to the lust of the contractor and supervisor, highlighting the exploitation that many women endure.
Thevaleli Bai ("The Mistress") is the tale of Khataree, a widow who reluctantly marries again, only to find that her new husband has a mistress. This discovery sparks her rebellious spirit against the societal norms of patriarchy.
Dubhati Gaay ("A Milching Cow") narrates the story of Meera, who, despite her efforts to create a milk collection society for Adivasi women, faces intense male chauvinism.
Jo Mai Aisa Janati ("Only If I Knew This") is the story of Maku, who once took a wrong step in her youth, but later transforms into a sincere housewife.
Badaltya Kalachi Pawala ("The Changing Times") follows the journey of Fuli, a woman who endures many atrocities at the hands of her husband and his family but finds freedom and happiness in a second marriage. She becomes determined to uplift the women in her village.
This collection captures the strength and resilience of Adivasi women as they navigate through the hardships imposed on them by their society. While many are exploited, a few find the courage to rebel and seek a better life, making this a powerful and thought-provoking read.
