It is a well observed fact that we believe that our parents and their parents belonged to a ‘purana zamana’ (olden days) where orthodox and very narrow-minded thinking prevailed. Today, individuals all over the country are fighting for something or the other- rights over sexuality, rights over freedom and rights to security and choice. It has become a very common sight to witness girls revolting in their families and in their societies over their freedom against the restrictions put on them- restrictions on clothing, on social outlook, freedom to go out, freedom to earn and spend as they please, freedom to work, etc.
What if you're told that at the time of our ancestors, contrary to modern beliefs, these crimes and revolts were quite less in number as compared to present times? What if you're told that in ancient times, women and gays never had to fight for their freedom because it was considered as basic as breathing air? What you're told that in ancient India, a girl’s virginity was never questioned and sex was openly talked about? This documentary attempts to delve into the past to understand where and how we underwent a negative hourglass effect. It also attempts to renew the beliefs the common man has about the roots of our culture, hopefully creating a positive feedback about it. At last, the documentary hopes to create a positive thought in the minds of its audiences regarding women’s rights to freedom and sexuality.
