I think a synopsis/summary of what's happened to date b4 the leap would be helpful - the original enmity b/w Ghassila & Chaudhari, the affair b/w Chaudhari's bro & Ghassila's sis, the cause of the animosity b/w Dhaniya & Lakshmi, the opposition of Ghassila to Lakshmi's education (incidentally, was Dhaniya educated?) and so on.
