Guess the book name
How she'd saved poor
girl from trouble in Shadow of the Taj?
Thirty years
American couple Leslie Matthews and her husband Tom, were commuting in the taxi
in New Delhi to reach zoo, Leslie sat in the back seat while Tom in the front
seat, the traffic noise, pollution had perturbed Leslie, looking out through
the window, she contemplating how the people of this metropolis got used to
live in this environment. She disliked the way the Indian taxi driver drove his
car through narrow road for taking short cuts.
On reaching
the zoo, when they disembarked from taxi, beggars and push cart vendors had
encircled them for money. Leslie of white complexion, was in traditional Indian
shalwar kameez, wished to help financially them all so after giving some money
by Tom, she moved through the crowd but regretted when she saw the plight of
poor children.
Inside the
zoo, their attention diverted from white tigers to innocent poor girl Raveena
who was being harassed by rogue people in front of public. Leslie got angry and
wondered when she saw no one doing nothing to save her.
When Leslie
got closer knew Raveena being watched by her caretaker but silent and expressed
no signs of regret and shame for the sake of money. Leslie saw torture stains
on neck and face of Raveena, tried to took her away from beasts but couldn't go
further and had to give up.
When Leslie
reached her hotel from zoo, had regrets, lost in her thoughts about that little
Indian girl sitting at the pool side, and said to Tom she wanted to go back
into the zoo to know the whereabouts of Raveena. Leslie steadfast she wouldn’t
rest in peace until perpetrators those behind heinous crime exposed.
Leslie
recalled the incident when she visited outside in the village alone from when
Tom went outside for his research project during their stay at guesthouse in
rural area some time back, group of male villagers approached her, touched in
inappropriate way in front of crowd, so Leslie strived to escape from and
managed to reach back. But when she recited horrible incident in her shaky
voice before Tom in distress, he mocked her and told that those men must had
wanted to greet her with hospitality.
