It was clearly shown that the villagers wanted to kill Champa because she brought bad name to the village because she ran away with someone and came back pregnant. Champa's case was not child marriage, but adolescence love affair against the norms of society. Champa was clearly at fault and villager's reaction was brutal.

I wont mind revenge if it is done with some planning and not be caught.
The persons targetted are not innocent in any way.

Revenge should be done in a proper manner but here we are talking about a small girl.

This girl targeted people who are not nice or innocent.

The girl appears cheerful but they have shown that she has her moments were she feels down too.

When life is full of drudgery and there doesn't seem to be an end to it people get adapted to it.

Cheerfulness may be her basic nature or it is her way coping with the situation trying to make a detemined effort to be happy

Cheerfulness doesn't really look out of place.

We do come across people who are cheerful despite their lives being full of misery.So what is unusal about Nandini's cheerfullness?

Phooli was a cheerful kid too she was discriminated against a lot and she was denied basic pleasures that life has to offer she took all that with a stoicism.She may not have been subjected to violence but we never saw her moping around.

Nandini doesn't seem to be someone who mopes around.

Sharing her worries about her daughter's Bal Vivah and the man who was partly responsible for the way her own Bal Vivah ended offering help to find her child - Yes the sight was distasteful but it also tells something - Acknowledging his own culpability and trying to make amends in every possible way.
There must be reasons why in countries like USA where punishments like so many hours of socila service are in existence.

Prisons and punishments how often do they change mind sets?

Did death sentence change the mindset of the man who commiitted that ghastly crime?Wish there was something even more terrible punishment than that for this kind of people who are unrepentant.

That man is living it up in jail, who knows when he will die, castration might have changed his mind set. He would have used any excuse to blame the girl for what he did, why admit his fault when the girl is no longer alive to fight back. Mothers role is so important in shaping a man to respect women.

I don't think castration will have any effect - rape is less about sex and more about subjugation. Even castrated males can be a threat unless the mindset is changed. And mindset of these hardcore criminal adults will not change. Mindset of children can be moulded though and present generation can teach young generation about gender equality.
