Hi payal,
i agree with you ... because of anandi, child marriage as an issue has largely been eradicated in jayetsar ... and that has been the purpose of her schools -- both the adult education and the one for yuong girls.Remember, even her long speech at her award ceremony was about the issue of bal vivah and its ill effects on girls. Anandi would not be able to conceptualize immediately that inspite of all her efforts in this direction, someone is trying to slide a girl out for child marriage at the age of 8 in defiance of all that she has taught them and what she stands for.
