The story ends with her students announcing their desire to stage the play “Mahashweta”. Meanwhile, she also puts a stop to the advances from another suitor, saying she does not want to put herself into the troubles of married life again. But she has lost all love and respect for him. Earning her own money gives her confidence, and an independence that she had never known before.Ī few years later, her husband realises his mistake and comes back to apologise, and to take her home. After many ups and downs, she goes back to her passion – literature and theatre. She moves to Mumbai to start her life on her own terms.

She decides not to give up her life for her husband who had left her to die, and her family who had never cared for her. Then comes the turning point of her life. The story moves forward as she is left to her own fate by her father, despised by her step-mother, and pushed into loneliness to the extent that she contemplates suicide. What is more painful than her disease is the realization that her husband married her only because she had a beautiful face and body.

Her husband abandons her because of her marred beauty. She finds fairy tale love and gets married, only to find her dreams shattered to pieces, when she discovers that she has leukoderma. It is a simple story of a simple girl with simple aspirations, who wants to lead a simple life. Mahashweta, by Sudha Murthy, is one such book. We love the books because they take us closer to the mundane reality of the world. They are the stories of people we may find anywhere. But there is another category of books – those which show us what we already know, those which take the story in a way we can predict. They make us believe the unreal and that is the reason we love them. They show us what we had only seen in our dreams. There are some books that we admire because they take us to a world that we never imagined existed.
